The Mississippi corridor from Clinton through Davenport, Bettendorf, Moline, and Rock Island is one of the Midwest’s densest manufacturing stretches — machinery, fabrication, food processing, and the supplier network that feeds the region’s anchor OEMs. This is my home territory.
Much of the Quad Cities region builds for demanding OEM customers — which means supplier scorecards, customer safety audits, and TRIR thresholds attached to contracts. For a 60-to-300-person shop, those requirements arrive with corporate expectations and no corporate budget. That gap — enterprise scrutiny, mid-size resources — is precisely what a fractional structure solves.
Based in Clinton, Iowa — your plant is a drive, not a flight. Incident on second shift? I can be on your floor, not on a conference bridge.
Iowa runs a state OSHA plan; Illinois private-sector workplaces answer to federal OSHA. Corridor companies with facilities in both states get one program built to satisfy both regulators.
Brokers, carriers, staffing agencies, and the referral network that mid-size manufacturers actually use — I work alongside the people you already trust.
Brokers, PEOs, TPAs, and bankers: your clients ask you safety questions that deserve better than a template answer. I partner as the EHS bench behind your client relationships — you stay the trusted advisor, your client gets a credentialed answer, and hard-to-place risks become placeable.
Yes — Davenport and Bettendorf under Iowa’s state plan, Moline and Rock Island under federal OSHA, one integrated program for companies operating on both banks.
That’s one of the most common calls I get in this corridor. The engagement builds the program the audit expects, preps your team, and — more importantly — makes the answers true on the floor, because auditors walk floors.
For the corridor, typically same-day or next-day for genuine urgencies — that proximity is the point of engaging a local senior leader instead of a national firm’s traveling bench.
Either way, the first conversation costs thirty minutes and answers something concrete.
