What is the Ross County Safety Council?

SAFETY IS OUR BUSINESS!

Ross County Safety Council provides a forum to examine and resolve occupational safety and health issues. We strive to connect you with experts who can provide the information to keep your workplace safe. Monthly meetings and interactive workshops offer an opportunity to learn from experts on health and safety issues facing today's businesses. In addition, the Council is affiliated with the Bureau of Workers' Compensation (BWC) Division of Safety and Hygiene (DSH), and has access to their safety resources. We invite you to explore the Ross County Safety Council. Membership is free and is open to all companies, corporations, and individual employers in Ross, Pike, and Jackson Counties.


If you have topics you would like addresses please call Interim Safety Council Program Manager, Mike Throne at 740-702-2722 or email at mthrone@chillicotheohio.com. Take advantage of this opportunity to network with and learn from experienced safety professionals.
