About the Springfield-Clark County Safety Council

If you have ever had to contact an employee's family about an accident, we don't need to remind you of the importance of maintaining a safe workplace.

“Forty one years ago, I returned to Clark County after college to go into the electrical contracting business. Like many other chamber members, I poured all my time, talent and treasure into growing my business. About a year ago, I was talking to some Triec people about how many workers had suffered fatal workplace injuries by electrocution. We counted 8 people who lost their lives at work from electrocution in Clark County over the last 41 years. Then I thought how horrible it would be for one of our people to die as a result of working for us. It would make the last 41 years of hard work seem meaningless. I used this thought to inspire me to increase our efforts in workplace safety. Maybe the thought of someone dying, as a result of working for you, would also inspire you to increase your efforts in workplace safety.”

- Scott Yeazell, Triec Electrical Services

“Safety is a full-time job. Don't make it a part-time practice.”

- Justin Hayes, Safety Manager, Benjamin Steel Co.


“We need to make personal safety a value in our corporate lives.  Many organizations do see safety as a priority.  Yet, as humans, we know that like life, priorities change with time. That’s why safety and health must become a personal and organizational VALUE.  This needs to be a value that  is believed in from the “top” down.  Values, unlike priorities, do not change.”

- Kimberly Elliott
