Back in the early 1980s, American businesses were scrambling to comply with regulations that required them to furnish their employees with critical information concerning the materials they handled, the associated risks, and the proper methods for mitigating those risks. Known as the "Right-to-Know Law", this piece of legislation permanently changed the business landscape by making it compulsory for businesses to provide complete disclosure, and giving the government the "teeth" to levy large fines to enforce compliance.

Compliance Protection Incorporated was founded in 1985 to assist employers in their efforts to comply with these new requirements. Angie McKim had become a partner of Compliance Protection Incorporated, and when the original founder retired, Angie brought Glenn Becker on board as her new partner. Angie has been very active in the Medina County Safety Council, and has seen attendance at their meetings grow from six or eight when she first became involved, to over 100 people at each meeting now. We stopped by Compliance Protection's offices recently, and listened as Angie and Glenn outlined their company's services and offerings;

Compliance Protection Incorporated is a consulting company serving manufacturing companies in the establishment, control, and implementation of safety and health programs for their employees. We offer everything from ten hour certification to forklift safety, back injury prevention, emergency action plans, lockout/tagout programs, and office ergonomics. We keep our finger on the pulse of OSHA's current areas of interest, and inform our customers of new regulations or changes in the Standards that affect their operations.

We offer OSHA-style inspections where we come to your business, conduct an inspection, and let you know what would have been found, good, bad, or otherwise, during a real visit from OSHA. We can provide on-site training and consultations to help you rectify the deficiencies we've found, or to correct issues that OSHA has previously uncovered during past inspections. We can provide you with "Train the Trainer" programs and work with your key personnel, teaching them what needs to be done in areas such as training, paperwork needs, and document retention, and enabling them to handle these tasks themselves.

Many companies decide to become maintenance clients after the initial inspection, and we work with them on an ongoing basis to make sure all their training needs are met, assist with their paperwork retention, and new changes in the law are addressed promptly. As a maintenance client, you simply give us a call when OSHA shows up at your door, and we immediately come to your facility to assist you.

Our services are available to companies of all sizes, and although most of our work is in Northern Ohio, we serve all of Ohio and the contiguous states, and have worked with clients as far away as Florida.

At Compliance Protection Incorporated, we constantly strive to stay abreast of changes to the standards and federal regulations. As the first company to provide this type of training and consulting in Northeast, Ohio, our work is very familiar to OSHA's Cleveland office. We're in regular communication with them, and when they come to your workplace and see our logo and materials, they know everything's been done correctly.

With Compliance Protection Incorporated on your side, you'll no longer have to face an OSHA inspection alone. Call Compliance Protection Incorporated today, and don't forget to tell them The Advocate sent you!
