About Us

The Safety Council was chartered in 1960 with a mission to improve the quality of life through enhancement of the safety and health of people, the economy and the environment and by providing education and resources to Northwest Ohio.

Our Board of Directors is composed of volunteers from the Public, Judicial, Law Enforcement, Fire and Rescue, Medical, Academia and the Private Sectors in our region.

The SCNWO is a 501 (C-3) non-profit, community-based organization that has established integrity and trust in our service to the community and the delivery of our training programs at a very reasonable cost that meet and exceed OSHA standards. Safety Council Members Benefits:
