TRI-STATE AREA SAFETY COUNCIL

Welcome to the Tri-State Area

Safety Council

Keeping people safe is complex work — and it’s better done together. The Tri-State Area Safety Council brings together safety professionals from across the greater Cincinnati region to share knowledge, build connections, and stay ahead of the ever-changing landscape of workplace safety. Hosted by Allied Construction Industries, the council is rooted in commercial construction but open to safety-minded professionals from any industry.

Each month, members hear directly from subject matter experts on the topics that matter most — from injury prevention and OSHA compliance to emerging best practices in risk management. It’s practical, peer-driven, and built for people who take safety seriously.

The FY27 program year is now open — enroll by September 30, 2026, to be eligible for the BWC rebate.
