TOTAL First Aid & Safety

Great Lakes Safety Solutions brings over 20 years of workplace safety expertise to businesses throughout the western Chicago suburbs. We understand that effective safety programs require more than just checking regulatory boxes – they need to integrate seamlessly with your daily operations and company culture. Our team works with small manufacturers, distribution centers, professional offices, and retail establishments across DuPage County and beyond. We pride ourselves on creating practical safety solutions that protect employees while supporting business growth and productivity.

We begin every engagement with comprehensive workplace safety audits that examine your physical environment, equipment, procedures, and employee behaviors. Our detailed reports highlight immediate concerns, regulatory compliance issues, and opportunities for improvement with clear implementation priorities. Our training portfolio covers essential OSHA requirements including general industry standards, hazard communication, personal protective equipment, and emergency response. We also provide specialized training for forklift operation, confined space entry, and chemical handling based on your specific needs. Safety program development services include creating written safety policies, incident reporting systems, and employee safety committees. We help establish measurement systems to track safety performance and demonstrate continuous improvement. Fire safety services encompass evacuation planning, fire extinguisher training, and compliance with local fire codes throughout the region.

We start with a phone consultation to understand your business, current safety practices, and specific concerns or goals. This initial discussion helps us prepare for an efficient on-site assessment. The site visit includes facility walkthrough, employee interviews, and documentation review. We examine everything from equipment maintenance records to training documentation. Within one week, you'll receive a comprehensive report with prioritized recommendations. Implementation support includes hands-on training sessions, policy template customization, and regular check-ins to ensure successful adoption. We remain available for questions and updates as your business evolves.

Our primary service area includes DuPage County communities like Woodridge, Naperville, Lisle, Downers Grove, and Wheaton. We also serve nearby areas in Cook and Will counties. Many of our clients are located in the I-88 and I-355 corridors where manufacturing and distribution businesses cluster. We understand the unique challenges of these industrial areas including shared facility concerns and varying local requirements.
