Safety Compliance
Illinois OSHA was created through the Illinois Department of Labor with the sole purpose of protecting public sector employees. Regardless of the population, number or type of services provided, or number of employees, if you are a state or local governmental agency, or municipality, you must be in compliant.
Fire & Safety 101 can help you become and stay compliant. With a variety of services, we can audit your current program and find where your deficiencies lie, your areas of strength, and where room for improvement can be made. If you have no current safety program, Fire & Safety 101 can develop a program that fits your needs.
Understanding and interpreting safety regulations and standards can be a daunting task; yet necessary when it comes to compliance. Let us take the guess work out of it. The greatest asset to any employer is their employees. Once you have placed the safety and health of your employees as a priority, compliance is a breeze.

Safety Training
The majority of workplace injuries and incidents are caused by a lack of employee training. Often times the employer has failed in providing significant training in job task safety and hazard recognition. Many employers do not realize the training they are required to provide to their employees. Employee injuries and fatalities can lead to substantial, willful violations. Willfully not providing the appropriate employee training can be punishable in fines of $125,000. During an OSHA audit, adequate training programs and documentation can be the difference between success and failure.

Safety Consulting
When it comes to safety, some companies would like you to believe that a "one size fits all" approach is sufficient. Nothing can be further from the truth. Although construction companies or manufacturing plants may share an umbrella of safety, each company, facility, and process is unique and different from their competitor. Taking a "one size fits all" approach to safety will not only attract numerous OHSA citations, it will also cultivate injuries and incidents.
