The Ohio Safety Congress & Expo is scheduled for March 31 - April 2 at the Greater Columbus Convention Center. Again this year, HFC Safety Council will be taking the “FUN Bus” to the event on Wednesday, April 1st. If you went on the bus last year, you know that it is an easy cost-effective way to attend the Ohio Safety Congress & Expo, and a great way to share the day with fellow HFC Safety Council members.

 

We will announce details of the trip in early 2009. Free online registration for Ohio Safety Congress & Expo opens January 1, 2009 at www.ohiobwc.com. Remember, you can earn meeting attendance credit by attending Safety Congress and participating in the break out sessions.

 

By following a few simple safety tips, it’s easy to enjoy festive holiday decorations and events at work without having to deal with injuries or damage to property. When preparing to enjoy the holiday season at work, simply incorporate proper workplace holiday safety precautions into the planning process. You’ll be on your way to a holiday season that will be remembered as one that is both enjoyable and safe. (From lovetoknow.com.

Keep Your Workplace Safe During the Holidays

 

 

 

The winter months can bring any kind of weather conditions on HFC Safety Council meeting days. If the weather cancels a regularly scheduled meeting, we’ll let you know:

- Radio—Tune into WVNU 97.5, Buckeye Country 105.5 or 1090 AM

- Email—Check your email we’ll send notices to each address on the HFC Safety Council contact list.

- Website—Visit www.hfcsafetycouncil.com to check for a cancellation notice.

- Telephone—Call the Highland County Chamber of Commerce at (937) 393-1111.

Our goal is to “make the call” by 9:00am on the day of the meeting and have clear channels of communication to keep everyone safe during the winter season.
