Monthly Safety Council Meetings
The Safety Council of Greater Columbus, sponsored by the Builders
Exchange of Central Ohio, meets at least monthly to exchange
valuable safety resources, provide networking opportunities, and
elevate the safety awareness of Central Ohio employers.
The meetings are not just for safety directors! Each month,
individuals working in manufacturing, nursing facilities, commercial
and residential construction, and local municipalities attend SCGC
programs. Companies are encouraged to send anyone in their company
who might benefit from the monthly topic. Company owners and
presidents, project managers, foreman, safety directors, field and
office personnel, human resource and operations directors all are
represented at the meetings.
"The meetings are free for employees of SCGC member firms that have paid the firm's annual $100 dues. A $35.00 no-show fee applies if you register, but do not attend without canceling at least one week in advance. The cost is $35.00 per person, per meeting for nonmembers of the SCGC.
For more information about the monthly topics or to provide a
suggestion for a topic you'd like to see, please contact the Safety
Department at the Builders Exchange of Central Ohio, 614/486-9521.
