ABOUT US

Why We Started US Compliance Systems

OWYN Safety got its start in 1999 as US Compliance Systems. Keith Dague and Charles Jobe owned contracting businesses and experienced the headaches of trying to satisfy OSHA requirements first-hand. They knew there had to be a better way. So they started a company to make safety management simple, easy and pain-free.

Over time, safety requirements became even tougher to meet. This spurred the emergence of robust and complicated safety management programs. With an extensive list of services and high price tags, they weren’t a realistic solution for smaller businesses.

Driven to deliver on their original core values of simple, easy and pain-free, US Compliance Systems evolved to OWYN Safety. In 2022, the family-run business introduced an affordable subscription-based safety and compliance management platform based on one principle: providing Only What You Need.

Who We Are

We’re an Ohio-based family-founded, employee-owned business. Our staff includes many members of the founding Dague family along with a growing team of specialists in online technology and document delivery.

What We Do

We help thousands of companies—from single-owner businesses to multi-state corporations—manage safety and compliance. Our services cover a wide range of industries and are tailored to provide only what you need.

How We Do It

We continuously develop and invest in technology to make compliance management simple, easy and pain-free. We stay on top of compliance regulations and industry trends so you can stay focused on your business.

A favorite pastime of mine is playing cornhole. For the past 6 years or so, a bunch of friends all meet up on Thursday evening to play some cornhole during the summer. We now are in a league during the winter months. I like it because its all about throwing bags with your buddies.
