Each Ohio safety council has the same goal - to increase safety, health and wellness awareness. But developing and maintaining a safe and healthy 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 80 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, health, wellness, 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. West Central Ohio Safety Council has received Safety Council of the Year awards from the Ohio Bureau of Workers' Compensation for exceeding the criteria for effective safety councils.
