"I didn't think any of this applied to me."

You started your business to do what you love — not to become a compliance expert. So when words like OSHA, EPA, and DOT come up, it's easy to assume they're for the big guys. The manufacturers. The chemical plants. The trucking companies with a hundred drivers.

Here's the truth Annie shares with every small business owner she meets: these regulations often apply at a much smaller scale than people realize. And the penalties for not knowing about them don't get smaller just because your business is.

But here's the other truth: for most small businesses, getting compliant is simpler and more affordable than you think. It starts with knowing what actually applies to you — and that's exactly what Annie helps you figure out, for free.

I talk to small business owners every week who are losing sleep over this stuff — or worse, don't know they should be. My job is to take that weight off your shoulders and put a clear, simple plan in its place.

Let's Get Specific

When Do These Regulations Apply to Small Businesses?

OSHA May Apply If...
  • You have one or more employees
  • Your workplace has physical hazards
  • You use chemicals, machinery, or power tools
  • Employees work at heights or in tight spaces
  • You're in construction, manufacturing, or trades
Most businesses with employees fall under OSHA in some way.
EPA May Apply If...
  • You use, store, or dispose of chemicals
  • Your business generates waste of any kind
  • You're near waterways, wetlands, or drainage
  • You operate vehicles that could spill fuel
  • You're in auto repair, landscaping, or cleaning
Even small quantities of certain materials trigger EPA requirements.
DOT May Apply If...
  • You operate any vehicle 10,001 lbs and greater in commerce
  • You transport hazardous materials
  • You have drivers crossing state lines
  • You run a delivery, transport, or service fleet
  • Your drivers carry passengers for compensation
If you have a work truck, DOT likely has something to say about it.

No Overwhelm. No Jargon. Just a Plan.

Annie spent 30 years in the field before she ever sat behind a desk. She's been a firefighter, a paramedic, a Coast Guard veteran. She knows what it's like to work with your hands, run on adrenaline, and not have time for someone to talk at you for an hour about regulatory code sections.

When she works with small businesses, she starts with one question: what does your business actually do? From there, she figures out what applies, explains it in plain language, and helps you build a practical path forward — one that fits your size, your budget, and your schedule.

No binders full of paperwork you'll never open. No training that doesn't apply to your team. Just what you need, when you need it.
