Making our world a safer place.

OSHAC Schedule

A Picture of the OSHAC Process

The Occupational Safety & Health Advisory Councils (OSHAC) serve as local support groups for people involved with the challenges of safety and health management. This monthly event is free of charge, with the exception of lunch on your own, and is open to everyone. Each monthly meeting features a luncheon speaker on topics of interest chosen by the group. The lunch meetings run from 11:30am until 1:00pm with the speaker's starting at noon. Come join us!

Each location has a local chairperson that is nominated annually by the local group and appointed by the Safety Council of the Ozarks. The local Chair, with the assistance of a representative from the Safety Council, arranges for speakers, take attendance, and coordinate a local facility for the meetings.

For a listing of programs and speakers contact the Safety Council of the Ozarks at info@nscozarks.org or 417-869-2121 or 800-334-1349.
