Our Mission

At the Institute for Safety Compliance, our mission is to create safer workplaces and communities by delivering practical safety training, regulatory compliance solutions, and emergency readiness programs rooted in real-world experience. We believe that safety is not just a policy, it’s a culture that must be taught, reinforced, and lived every day across all industries.

Our team is made up of experienced professionals from law enforcement, fire, EMS, and tactical response backgrounds who understand what’s truly at stake. We don’t offer generic training or off-the-shelf checklists. Instead, we bring high-impact instruction, proven tools, and tailored safety strategies that help organizations meet standards while preparing for real-world threats, from workplace injuries to active shooter incidents.

Everything we do is grounded in one goal: to ensure that employees go home safe, businesses stay operational, and leaders are empowered to respond when seconds count. Whether we’re installing trauma kits, delivering Stop the Bleed training, or deploying EOP Assistant or other safety software, we remain focused on equipping our clients with the skills, confidence, and tools needed to protect what matters most.

Our Story

Built by First Responders
At ISC, experience isn’t theoretical, it’s forged in the field. Our owners, Bob Haddad and Ed Porada, bring a combined eight decades of service in law enforcement, firefighting, EMS, tactical operations, and industrial safety. They’ve led police departments, commanded fire scenes, active SWAT team members, investigated complex threats, and built safety programs from the ground up. This depth of firsthand experience shapes every training session, product, and safety plan we deliver.

Driven by Real-World Demands
We know safety challenges don’t happen in perfect conditions or controlled environments. They strike without warning, in the middle of operations, events, or ordinary workdays. That’s why ISC was created, to give organizations tools and training that hold up under pressure. Every seminar, safety kit, and emergency plan we provide is built with one goal: to perform in the real world, not just on paper.

Focused on Proven Results
From installing trauma kits in high-risk workplaces to delivering scenario-based safety seminars, ISC’s solutions are designed for impact. We measure success by what happens after training, how quickly staff respond, how well plans hold up, and how effectively lives and assets are protected. For us, safety is more than compliance, it’s culture.

With 39 years of combined experience in Fire, EMS, and safety operations, Bob serves as a Critical Care Flight Paramedic with STAT MedEvac and Tactical Emergency Medical Services (TEMS) Team Leader for Cambria County SWAT. His background spans threat assessments, regulatory compliance, and safety program development, skills honed through thousands of hours of specialized training and real-world response.

Bob’s approach blends high-level expertise with practical application, ensuring every client receives solutions that perform under pressure. From corporate safety assessments to tactical medical support, his work consistently enhances preparedness, mitigates risk, and builds confidence in the organizations he serves.

A veteran Police Chief, retired Special Agent, and former Fire Marshal, Ed brings more than 40 years of public safety leadership to ISC. His experience includes high-level criminal investigations, emergency management, and threat assessment for government, business, and educational institutions. Known for his steady command under pressure, Ed has guided teams through active threat incidents, complex investigations, and large-scale safety initiatives.

Ed’s expertise lies in creating practical, actionable safety strategies that work in the real world not just on paper. He has led the development of innovative software solutions, such as the EOP Assistant, that give organizations instant access to critical emergency plans when every second counts. By combining field-proven tactics with modern technology,
