As Ohio BWC announced on 5/3/21, Ohio Safety Councils will again conduct all meetings virtually (online only) this fiscal year (7/1/2021 - 6/30/2022). BWC will not be offering a rebate for participation nor the performance rebate (for those eligible) to employers who participate in the BWC Safety Council program until we can meet in-person again. While this is not the usual direct financial reward for attending, BWC believes your business will still receive valuable workplace safety information and resources by attending meetings online. What you learn at upcoming virtual meetings can help with cost savings and keeping your workers safe from injuries and illness at work. While this meeting will not count towards rebates from BWC, we hope that you?ll join us for an informative presentation, as well as a BWC update and safety tips.
