Safety·Health·Environmental Program

 
Background
The Safety•Health•Environmental Services program is a consulting and educational program that was specifically designed for the members of the Grain and Feed Association of Illinois. It was started by the Association to assist members with information and compliance regarding OSHA, EPA and other safety, health and environmental regulations.

Plans Available to You
There are two plans which members may select to enroll in.

1.) Basic Plan:
Annual on-site safety meeting for employees. Consulting with the member regarding compliance with safety, health and environmental regulations. Member receives regulatory update bulletins. Member receives a safety manual. Annual fee is $685.00 based on one on-site visit per year.

3.) Group Plan:
The group plan is designed for elevators who do not want on-site visits and are flexible and able to meet with other elevators in the area. The Safety•Health•Environmental Services Director will set a date and select a place for the meeting that best fits everyone’s schedules. A portion of the meeting will be consulting with the managers. The other portion, at a different time slot, will be for employee safety meetings. Member also will receive the regulatory UPDATE bulletins along with a safety manual. The annual fee is $375.00.

UPDATE Bulletins
All members in the program will receive UPDATE, the regulatory bulletin. UPDATE will keep members informed, between visits, regarding changes in rules and regulations of IEPA, EPA, and OSHA.

Safety Manual
All members in the program will receive a safety manual. This 3-ring binder is full of guidelines, forms, policys, regulations and standards for you to utilize. As you receive your UPDATE bulletins, there is even a place for those so you won’t lose a single one. This manual was designed for the members of the program to help organize all of the heavy paperwork and forms needed to be in compliance with the regulations today. The manual will soon also be available on computer disk to organize and personalize the manual.
