“We have worked with CHESS consulting over the past four years and can say that they have been instrumental in helping us strengthen our safety programs. With their years of knowledge and experience, guiding OSHA compliance, EPA regulations to Hazardous Waste Management and Employee Health and Safety we have built robust programs we can rely on into the future.
They have been responsive and easy to work with, providing research and written program documentation, participating in our safety committee meetings, and OSHA audit preparedness. It’s obvious they genuinely care for the health and safety of our employees and company and would be an asset to any organization.”
Maureen Steinwall, Steinwall Plastics
“CHESS has taken us from worrying about compliance issues that we didn’t fully understand to not worrying about compliance issues we now understand. It is great!”

“CHESS has been our school’s environmental health and safety consultant for over two years. The team at CHESS has been great to work with and I appreciate their practical approach to assessing our needs, coordinating monthly meetings and assisting us in eliminating health and safety concerns. Further, they took the initiative to coordinate applications for MN OSHA grants. Overall, CHESS provides our school with important environmental health and safety consulting services that we do not have the expertise to complete “in house”.”
