For more than 100 years the American Society of Safety Professionals (ASSP) have supported occupational safety and health (OSH) professionals in their efforts to prevent workplace injuries, illnesses and fatalities. We provide education, advocacy, standards development and a professional community to our members in order to advance their careers and the OSH profession as a whole. ASSP has a large network of chapters across our U.S. and global regions provide accessible, face-to-face opportunities for ASSP members to become better safety professionals. We are Region VI within the United States comprised of all local chapters in North Carolina, South Carolina, Virginia, Maryland, the District of Columbia and Delaware. The Region helps support the operational arm of the Chapters we serve.
