Worker Safety

View Our Training Calendar   -   Onsite Mini-Course Topics
Each year, US employers spend more than $50.8 billion on wage payments and medical care for workers hurt on the job. With this kind of impact, safety education and management should be a priority.

Compliance with OSHA standards alone will not prevent all injuries and illnesses; OSHA standards are minimum standards. Progressive companies have realized that to reduce or eliminate workplace injuries, resources must be allocated for training in organizational safety and health practices. Employers are paying almost $1 billion per week to injured workers and medical care providers. Having a commitment to strong safety and health policies and practices will add to a company’s bottom line profits.

We want to partner with you to ensure your workplace and employees are safe. We can help you with safety training and compliance advice. The Council has training locations throughout Pinellas County. All classes are also available on-site, at your facility, to help you control the costs involved with employee travel and downtime. Suncoast Safety Council has over 250 members and we are confident we can help you control costs related to workplace injuries.
