The Iowa-Illinois Safety Council (IISC) takes the safety and wellness of our community seriously and will comply with health department recommendations for pandemic preparedness. We are participating in a variety of protective measures to help slow the spread and impact of COVID-19. Our staff are taking extra steps recommended by our local Health Department and CDC to slow the spread of COVID-19. We are monitoring these recommendations daily, at this time we are still operational for all of your training and consultation needs.

We are currently working on how to convert our training from in-person to web based courses. We have some capability, but it’s fairly limited, so at this time we are taking it as a case by case basis. Please call Christine at 515-276-4728 ext. 226 (christine@iisc.org) to inquire how to modify trainings or services if you are concerned about the pandemic.
Please also note that injuries increase when businesses experience staff reductions. Reducing safety trainings can put your company at risk.
Many folks have concerns, please rest assured that we are taking appropriate measures to keep you and your employees safe and healthy. As new information continues to come out, we will monitor and make updates to protocols as needed.
