Welcome to the Safety Council of
Greater Columbus
The Builders Exchange of Central Ohio (BX)
proudly sponsors the Safety Council of
Greater Columbus (SCGC). For more than a century, the
Exchange has served firms throughout Ohio with a mission to
advance the commercial construction industry as the resource
for communication, education, services and recognition.
With a membership of more than 1,100 firms, one
of the most valuable BX services in the 21st century is
the BX Safety Program. The program assists construction companies
with their various safety needs – including OSHA compliance,
workers’ compensation issues and most importantly, the well-being of
the workforce.
The Safety Council of
Greater Columbus is an expansion of the BX’s efforts to
meet the safety training needs of all Ohio employers, regardless of
their affiliation with the Exchange. In keeping with its mission, if
the BX can’t help you, it will find a source that can.
Central Ohio companies are invited to join the
Safety Council of Greater Columbus
and save up to 4% on workers’ compensation premiums. Councils offer
important information on safety and health to improve Central Ohio
workplaces.
There is no fee to enroll in the
Safety Council of Greater Columbus,
and companies do not need to be a member of the sponsoring organization — the Builders Exchange of Central Ohio — to participate. To encourage participation, the BWC has authorized the 2% premium discount, up to 4% based on performance, which can be added to any existing Group Rating discount, Drug-Free Workplace Program or Premium Discount Program (PDP Plus). Only state-funded companies are eligible for the discount, but all companies — including those that are self-funded — may participate.
