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 bring you the experts who can provide the information to make your workplace safe. Monthly meetings and interactive workshops provide an opportunity to learn from the experts about health and safety issues facing today's businesses. In addition, the Council is affiliated with the Bureau of Worker's 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.
