safety council
The Huron County Safety Council is dedicated to promoting workplace safety, health, and wellness through education, resource sharing, and collaboration among local employers and professionals.
As part of Ohio’s network of safety councils sponsored by the Ohio Bureau of Workers’ Compensation (BWC) Division of Safety & Hygiene, the Huron County Safety Council connects members with industry experts, best practices, and risk management strategies designed to reduce injuries and lower workers’ compensation costs.
Safety Council meetings are held on the third Thursday of each month from 7:00 to 8:30 AM at the Norwalk High School Ernsthausen Performing Arts Center, with breakfast provided. Membership is free for HCGP members and $250 annually for non-members.
Whether you’re a small business, manufacturer, healthcare provider, or service organization, the Huron County Safety Council offers the knowledge, resources, and connections needed to build a stronger culture of safety in your workplace and community.
