What is the Ashtabula County Safety Council?

The Ohio Bureau of Workers’ Compensation (BWC) Division of Safety & Hygiene sponsors Safety Councils who all have the same goal – to increase safety awareness. The Ashtabula County Safety Council is one of 83 safety councils across the state organized to provide the Ashtabula County Community Businesses with quality programs addressing occupational safety and health, workers’ compensation and risk management education and information. We inform participants about new techniques, products, and services, and provide a thorough knowledge of these services.

Membership is open to anyone within Ashtabula County and there is no annual fee.
