PUT SAFETY FIRST AND PRODUCTIVITY WILL FOLLOW

InterActive Safety Solutions

Brent Bryden, CEO of InterActive Safety Solutions, knows firsthand how a safer company makes for happier and more productive employees. That’s why he created InterActive Safety Solutions, offering hands-on, OSHA approved training for manufacturing, construction and other trade services in the Rockford area.

“Regulations can be difficult to interpret and implement,” Bryden said. “We help companies navigate the complex rules of OSHA compliance. “

Born from Bryden’s 37-year career in safety training, the company brings together experts and partners to help employers build and manage effective environment, health and safety (EHS) programs.

“When workers know that they’ll go home the same way they came to work— except a little dirtier and sweatier, and with little more money in their pockets— those employees will help your company be more productive and efficient,” said Gene Barney, lead instructor.

Bryden started the business out of his basement in 2013 after working for Barber Colman and its successors. For years, he carried bins of safety equipment and instruction manuals to do on-site training for area companies.

By 2018, InterActive Safety Solutions had outgrown the basement and opened a new location at 577 Grable Street in Rockford. Today the company offers OSHA approved training programs on-site or at their facility in southeast Rockford.

“When you have the familiar shop tools in front of the student, abstract safety concepts are easier to understand,” said Bryden. “Now we don’t have to wait for one of our large corporate customers to have five or more employees in need of training—we can serve a variety of businesses in an inviting and comfortable learning environment.”

“Our mission is to help businesses identify, predict, decide and execute safety solutions,” Bryden said. “Because we all have someone who wants us to come home safe.”
