Overview

BWC’s Ohio Safety Congress & Expo is the largest and longest-running occupational safety, health and workers’ compensation event in Ohio. More than 7,000 representatives from businesses, organizations and government entities attend the three-day event. They learn techniques for injury and illness prevention, rehabilitation, return-to-work and cost savings. They also shop for services, industrial supplies, safety equipment and gear in the Expo Marketplace.

Mark your calendar now with these new dates in early March. We hope the new Wednesday through Friday programming will allow you to be productive in your work week, and then visit OSC18 to finish your week.

OSC18 offers more than 200 free educational sessions, more than 200 exhibitors, free continuing education credits, and BWC program credits. By attending the safety congress, you will learn to:

• Prevent workplace injuries and illnesses;
• Achieve better outcomes for injured workers;
• Reduce workers’ compensation claims costs;
• Keep Ohio’s work force healthy and productive.
