Our company was started in 2004 after one of our founders received less than adequate hazmat training at his job from an outside contractor. The training this company provided was impetus for us to form Midwest Safety Associates.
We strive to provide the most up to date and comprehensive training we can at an affordable cost to you. Our training programs are based on OSHA and Dept. of Homeland Security Best Practices and guidelines, not on what we make up or wish for.
We tailor our programs and consulting services to your facility based on what you need to protect your staff and infrastructure. Our training uses your equipment set-up and reinforces your protocols. If there is a question that we can’t answer, we have the contacts in the Federal government, law enforcement and medicine to get the answer quickly. We are based in the Chicagoland area, eliminating the need to fly in and rent hotel rooms for our staff, which would add additional costs to you.
We are currently expanding our programs and services offered to be more responsive to business and industrial needs, including onsite drug testing and respiratory fit testing services. We also have staff available to conduct OSHA 10 and 30 safety certification classes.
If you have a special event, sporting event or large gathering of people, we can provide onsite First Aid teams staffed by experienced Emergency Medical Technicians and Paramedics.
Most of all, we want to provide you with good advice and solid training at an affordable cost to keep us all safe. |

Biological Attacks on The Horizon, Warns ExpertAugust 2008 by Sandra I. Erwin , National Defense Magazine The public is dangerously oblivious to the hazards of “biological” terrorism and the nation lacks mechanisms to cope with future attacks, says Richard Danzig, former Navy secretary and senior national security advisor to Democratic presidential hopeful Sen. Barack Obama. “Of all the Jihadi WMD threats, biological terrorism has the highest risk,” Danzig tells a Washington, D.C. conference. Pathogens have become relatively easy to turn into mass-casualty weapons, he says. “As modern biology progresses, we see high-school students doing what Nobel prize winners did 30 years ago … We are, in my opinion, substantially at risk.” Americans should be better educated about these threats, says Danzig. “We suffer from ‘Pearl Harbor syndrome,’” he adds. “There’s a deeply rooted belief in the American psychology that if something terrible were to surprise us, we would respond as we did after Pearl Harbor and 9/11 — we would suffer the blow, deal with the trauma … and be able to overcome it.” |
