All safety councils have the same goal: To increase safety awareness. But developing and maintaining a safe workplace is no easy task. It takes the combined efforts of local companies and community resources to promote safe work practices.

Ohio has more than 80 Safety Councils, made up of local companies and organized through chambers of commerce, trade and manufacturing associations or other safety-minded organizations.

The Licking County Safety Council has served the surrounding area for over 60 years and currently has over 180 members. The council serves employers who are interested in promoting and improving worker safety that results in reducing workers’ comp costs. In conjunction with the Ohio Bureau of Workers Compensation, the Licking County Safety Council holds regular monthly meetings to provide information on new techniques, products and services that improve and promote safe workplaces. A volunteer steering committee provides leadership to the Council by planning meetings, monitoring safety issues and establishing council bylaws and operations.

Who can join?

The Licking County Safety Council is open to all companies, corporations and individual employers in Ohio who are interested in promoting and learning more about workplace safety. The monthly cost is $15.00 per person for lunch. Members are expected to support the Council by attending its monthly meetings and completing a semi annual report as part of the Ohio BWC annual Safety Campaign.
