Overview

The Champaign County Safety Council (CCSC) is operated and funded by the Champaign County Chamber of Commerce and the Ohio Bureau of Workers Compensation Division of Safety & Hygiene. The Safety Council is open to all companies, corporations and individual employers.

 All Ohio Safety Councils have the same goals:

Increase safety awareness
Prevent occupational accidents
Provide quality occupational safety & health programs

But this is not an easy task. That is why it must be a combined effort of local companies and the community, which is why we at the Chamber feel that we can better serve the businesses of Champaign County and the surrounding area by operating a safety council program.
