Chess Safety

About Us

Chess provides safety, health & environmental consulting services, with a focus on small business – those where the primary decision-makers have a direct involvement in safety. Our primary goal is to protect the company assets, particularly its human assets.  

Chess:

• Helps companies deal with regulators such as OSHA and the MPCA/EPA. We identify what regulations apply and explain how to comply with those.
• Conducts safety/health/environmental compliance audits, to determine where the company is at risk of employees being harmed and at risk of being out of compliance with regulators.
• Evaluates workplaces for hazards and recommends ways to address those hazards.
• Handles regulatory reporting (hazardous waste, wastewater, air quality, even the electronic filing of OSHA 300A injury log summaries).
• Provides safety and health training to employees.
• Helps to return injured employees to work.
• Writes OSHA grant proposals.

Although Chess specializes in providing comprehensive services to small businesses, we work with companies of all sizes, from two employees to over 200,000, and on projects of all sizes, from providing a one-hour safety training session or one day of noise monitoring to helping, year after year, with all aspects of a client’s safety/health/environmental program.

We believe that every client has unique needs and its own culture, so we adapt to that, providing the services that you need. We will work with you to develop your occupational safety and health program from the ground up, building upon what you have already established, assist you with safety training where appropriate, or consult with a specific safety, health, or environmental concern.
