About OmniHR

OmniHR has evolved beyond traditional HR services to become southern Illinois' premier workplace safety consulting firm. While we started as an employment and payroll company, we recognized that our clients needed comprehensive safety expertise to protect their growing workforces and maintain compliance. Our unique background in HR and business operations gives us a distinct advantage in developing practical safety programs that actually work in real workplace environments. We understand the challenges of implementing safety protocols while maintaining productivity and employee satisfaction. This combination of HR expertise and safety knowledge helps us create solutions that employees embrace rather than resist.

How They Can Help

Our workplace safety audits combine traditional hazard identification with HR compliance review, ensuring your safety programs align with employment law requirements. We conduct comprehensive OSHA compliance assessments, focusing on industries common to the Metro East area including warehousing, manufacturing, and healthcare. Safety training programs are designed with adult learning principles and delivered in formats that work for diverse workforces. We offer bilingual training options and accommodate various literacy levels. Our fire safety services include emergency action plan development, evacuation drill coordination, and fire warden training. Hazard assessments cover ergonomic risks, chemical exposure, slip and fall prevention, and workplace violence prevention. We also specialize in developing safety programs that satisfy both OSHA requirements and workers' compensation carrier standards, often resulting in premium reductions for our clients.

What to Expect

We begin with a comprehensive phone consultation to understand your business operations, current safety challenges, and specific compliance concerns. Our initial on-site assessment typically occurs within 3-5 business days and includes both safety hazard evaluation and HR policy review. Following the assessment, we provide a detailed report within one week that prioritizes safety issues by risk level and regulatory urgency. We then work with your management team to develop an implementation timeline that considers operational requirements and budget constraints. Our follow-up includes progress check-ins and employee feedback sessions to ensure new safety procedures are being adopted effectively.

Service Area

Our primary service area covers the Metro East region including Fairview Heights, Belleville, O'Fallon, Collinsville, and East St. Louis. We also serve clients throughout southwestern Illinois and the greater St. Louis metropolitan area. For specialized projects or emergency consultations, we extend services to southeastern Missouri and provide remote consultation support for clients with multiple locations across the Midwest. Same-day emergency response is available for workplace incidents requiring immediate safety assessment.
