Founded in 1911, the American Society of Safety Engineers (ASSE) is the nation’s oldest and largest organization of safety professionals dedicated to the preservation of health, property, and the environment. Its more than 32,000 members manage, supervise and consult on safety, health, and environmental issues in industry, insurance, government and education.
The New Orleans chapter’s 200 members are safety leaders in local industry, small business, and public sectors. The New Orleans chapter provides professional development to members, safety education to the public, and safety recommendations to legislative bodies. The New Orleans Chapter is also the mentor chapter to the Delgado Community College ASSE Student Section.
The New Orleans Chapter is a part of ASSE’s "Region IV." The Region includes Louisiana, Mississippi, Alabama, Georgia, Florida, Puerto Rico, and the Virgin Islands.
The Greater Baton Rouge, Bayou, Arklatex, and Acadiana Chapters are also part of Region IV’s "Louisiana Area."
At our November 2009 meeting, Alex Novas from OSHA gave a presentation titled "Accident & Fiscal Year 2009 Review" and has made it available for download on our website.
