American Association of Safety Councils ::: Home

History of AASC:
On September 27 & 28, 2000, a group of 20 plus executives and volunteers representing independent Safety Councils across the United States gathered in Atlanta, Georgia to identify needs and share ideas. The result of this meeting was the formation of the American Association of Safety Councils (AASC). The purpose of AASC was to pool information and resources to better address the safety and health issues facing businesses, communities and individuals. AASC was formed as a charitable nonprofit 501 (C)(3) entity organized and managed by volunteers from the charter member councils.

The power of the AASC lies with its many members. With an expanded network we are able to reach communities and businesses across the nation. Information on Safety and Health is ever changing and AASC keeps the Safety Councils current on the latest developments. Business models and climates change as well and with the support of AASC, Safety Councils are evolving to stay relevant and improve their importance to local regions.
