National EHS leader strengthens regional investment to help manufacturers and other industrial employers build safer workplaces
MINNEAPOLIS, Sept. 11, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — U.S. Compliance (USC), a national leader in environmental, health and safety (EHS) compliance services, announced today an expanded investment in the greater Chicago region through adding a deeper bench of local EHS professionals and increased support for Chicagoland manufacturers.
“The expansion reflects growing demand among area businesses for experienced safety and environmental compliance resources that help organizations navigate increasingly complex regulatory requirements,” said Jim Ginther, chief executive officer of USC. “By expanding our local presence, we’re making it easier for companies to access the expertise they need to protect their employees, maintain compliance, and improve business performance.”
While USC has been serving the Chicagoland market for over 30 years, with hundreds of existing clients and a well-established team of professionals based in the market, the company is deepening its engagement with the region’s manufacturing community, including sponsoring and speaking at the Chicagoland Safety, Health and Environmental Conference, Sept. 14–16, 2026.
The company also plans to expand its team of bilingual EHS advisors, including Spanish-speaking professionals, grow its team of environmental specialists, and enhance its digital capabilities to make training, compliance resources and EHS support more accessible to Chicagoland manufacturers.
“Chicago is one of the nation’s most important industrial and manufacturing markets,” said Chris Whitehorne, regional vice president of USC. “While many organizations recognize the importance of workplace safety, hiring and retaining experienced EHS professionals continues to be a challenge. USC can help bridge that gap by providing companies with a dedicated advisor supported by a broader team of specialists in OSHA compliance, environmental compliance, industrial hygiene, training, permitting and reporting.”
Founded in 1988, U.S. Compliance is a leading provider of EHS solutions, serving more than 2,200 organizations across North America. The company pioneered the Compliance as a Service (CaaS) model, providing organizations with access to dedicated EHS professionals, specialized subject matter experts, training resources, digital compliance technology, and ongoing support through a predictable monthly subscription.
