What information we collect
When you submit our contact form, we collect the information you provide — typically your name, company, email address, phone number, and the details of your inquiry. Our website host (WordPress.com/Automattic) also collects standard technical data such as IP addresses and browser information, and uses cookies necessary to operate the site. We do not run visitor comments or user accounts on this site.
How we use your information
We use the information you send us to respond to your inquiry, prepare quotes, and provide our services. If you opt in, we may also send you occasional emails with safety and compliance updates, resources, and news about our services. You can unsubscribe at any time using the link in any of those emails, and we will only use your address this way if you have chosen to receive them.
Analytics
We use basic site statistics provided by our hosting platform (Jetpack/WordPress.com) to understand site traffic. These statistics are aggregate in nature. Automattic’s privacy policy is available at https://automattic.com/privacy/.
Embedded content from other websites
Pages on this site may include embedded content (for example, videos or maps). Embedded content from other websites behaves as if you visited that website directly, and those sites may collect data about you or use cookies.

We do not sell or trade your personal information. Your data is processed by our website host (Automattic/WordPress.com) and our email provider in order to deliver your message to us.
If you subscribe to our email updates, your name and email address are stored with our email newsletter provider in order to deliver them.
How long we keep your data

Terms of Use
These terms apply to your use of binderandboots.com.
No legal advice; no relationship formed
Binder & Boots Safety Programs provides safety consulting and documentation services and does not provide legal advice. No consultant can guarantee the outcome of any inspection or enforcement action. Browsing this site, reviewing excerpted program language, or submitting the contact form does not create a consulting engagement or any other professional relationship. An engagement begins only under a signed written scope of work.
Illustrative program excerpts
Any excerpts of program language shown on this site are illustrative writing samples drawn from work prepared for fictional organizations, provided to demonstrate structure, regulatory mapping, and writing quality. They are partial excerpts only, are not tailored to any real workplace or set of operations, and must not be copied, adapted, or relied upon as a substitute for a program written for your operations. Relying on an excerpt instead of a program written for your actual operations does not satisfy your obligations under any applicable OSHA or state-plan standard.
Intellectual property
All content on this site, including program excerpts, checklists, and text, is © 2026 Gloria Lopez / Binder & Boots Safety Programs, LLC, unless otherwise noted, and may not be reproduced, distributed, or adapted without written permission.
No guarantee of currency
Programs, standards, and regulatory citations referenced on this site are current as of the date each page was last reviewed, but OSHA and state agencies amend and add requirements regularly. We don’t undertake an ongoing obligation to update this site to reflect every change, and site content should not be treated as a final determination of what applies to your operations today.
Limitation of liability for site use
To the extent permitted by law, use of this site and its content is at your own risk. We aren’t liable for any damages arising from your use of, or inability to use, this site or its content, including reliance on any programs, checklists, or overviews published here. This limitation doesn’t apply to, and doesn’t replace, the liability terms of a signed services agreement once an engagement begins.
No affiliation or endorsement
You may not use the Binder & Boots name or logo in any way that states or implies our endorsement, sponsorship, or affiliation with your business, or that we’ve approved any advice, program, or document you create or use, without our prior written permission.
Severability
If any part of these terms is found unenforceable, the rest remains in effect.
Governing law
These terms are governed by the laws of the State of Illinois. Any dispute arising from use of this site is subject to the exclusive jurisdiction of the state and federal courts located in Lake County, Illinois.
Changes to these terms
We may update these terms from time to time; the current version, with its last-updated date below, always governs.
