Each
Ohio safety council has the same goal - to increase
safety awareness. But developing and maintaining a safe
workplace is no easy task. That is why it must be a
combined effort of local businesses and the community.
BWC's
Division of Safety & Hygiene sponsors more than 70 safety
councils, across the state, organized through chambers
of commerce, trade and manufacturing associations, American
Red Cross chapters or other local safety-minded organizations.
These safety councils provide their local communities
with quality programs addressing occupational safety
and health, workers' compensation and risk management
education and information. They inform participants
about new techniques, products and services, and provide
a thorough knowledge of these services.
Participation
