The first in-person meeting and yearly membership drive since the pandemic took place Monday morning at the Howard Johnson in Lima. Their focus is on safety and wellness in the workplace, and thousands of Ohio employers benefit from the education and resource sharing by participating in their meetings. Eligible businesses who participate can earn a 2% rebate on their worker's compensation premium.

The West Central Ohio Safety Council is returning to in-person meetings. By participating in the safety council companies can earn workers' compensation premium rebates through safety education. The council can also help with identifying resources to assist in accident prevention efforts and learning ways to increase safety, health, and wellness in the workplace. They are asking if you are interested in participating to contact them.
