Our History
Founded in 1993, OECS is an independently owned and operated company based in St. Louis Park, MN. After adding the Dakota’s office based in Fargo in 1999, OECS quickly became the Midwest’s leading workplace safety consulting company. With a loyal following of hundreds of clients, OECS added the Northern Minnesota/Western Wisconsin region in 2019 and the Southern MN and Iowa region in 2021. While the company continues to build on its strong foundation of exceptional service to businesses in the Midwest, it continues to expand nationally, adding offices in South Carolina and Virginia.
CELEBRATING 30 YEARS OF SAFETY EXCELLENCE
February 2023 marks the 30-year anniversary of OECS! Since opening its doors, OECS has grown to over 30 safety associates and office staff, helping create safe work environments for thousands of employees throughout the Midwest and beyond. More recently, OECS launched “Training on Demand by OECS“, a Learning Management System (LMS) that provides convenient digital training to fit their clients’ specific needs. Always looking for ways to help keep employees coming home safe, the company now offers Virtual Safety Audits, expanded Industrial Hygiene services, and just came out with the book, Building a Strong Safety Culture: The 5 C’s of Workplace Safety. OECS is also a proud Military Employer! There’s a lot to celebrate as the company continues to grow and succeed into the future!
