AMERICAN SOCIETY of SAFETY ENGINEERS
Welcome to the official website of the Niagara Frontier Chapter of the American Society of Safety Engineers. Here, visitors can learn more about our organization and members can keep abreast of Chapter activities.
The Niagara Frontier Chapter was founded in 1936 to serve safety professions and members in related fields. The goal of our chapter is to provide professional development opportunities for its members through informative meetings and seminars and to provide services to the community in the field of safety. The general chapter meets monthly from September through May. We also have a sub-chapter consisting of area Contractors who also meet on a monthly basis. Exact schedules for both the General Chapter and Construction Chapter can be found on this website.
American Society of Safety Engineers was founded in 1911, it is the oldest and largest professional safety organization in the world. Its more than 32,000 members manage, supervise and consult on safety, health, and environmental issues in industry, insurance, government and education. ASSE is guided by a 16-member Board of Directors, which consists of 8 regional vice presidents; three council vice presidents; Society president, president-elect, senior vice president, vice president of finance and executive director. ASSE has 14 practice specialties, 151 chapters, 28 sections and 58 student sections.

Be part of the exciting 10th Annual ASSE "Safety-On-The-Job" Poster Contest for kids aged 5-14.
ASSE members reach out to their communities through the annual ASSE kids’ poster contest about the importance of being safe on the job and we hope you can join the fun this year. The contest is open not only to ASSE members' children, grandchildren, nieces and nephews, but to all children (such as those of co-workers) and schools. The only requirement is that the child/group be sponsored by an ASSE member, the ASSE member number must be on the entry form.
The winning poster from each of the five age groups is featured on the annual North American Occupational Safety and Health (NAOSH) Week poster distributed worldwide. The five grand prize winners and 15 runners-up each receive prizes and are recognized at the NAOSH kick-off events in Washington, D.C., in May. The posters that best illustrate ‘safety-on-the-job’ will win the contest.
To enter, a child must be sponsored by an ASSE member. Those seeking an ASSE member to request sponsorship can check with their local ASSE chapter which can be found here. NAOSH Week runs from May 6-12, 2012, and Occupational Safety and Health Professional Day is May 9, 2012.
All poster contest winners, contestants and their families along with ASSE members, Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) staff and Alliance partners, regulators and legislators, are invited to attend the annual NAOSH kick-off and poster contest awards events in Washington, D.C., this May 6 and 7. Events are scheduled to be held at the National Gallery of Art, the U.S. Department of Labor (DOL), the National Zoo and more.
Through this poster contest children help spread the word about the importance of being safe at work not only for the worker, but for their families and friends as well. Today, 12 people a day die from on-the-job injuries in the U.S. Recent federal statistics show that in 2010 4,547 workers died from on-the-job injuries and millions more suffered injuries and illnesses.
The poster contest winners will be announced the first week of March on the www.asse.org/naosh web site. In addition to being featured on the NAOSH poster, the posters are displayed in Washington, D.C., during NAOSH Week at the DOL, the U.S. Capitol and at ASSE's annual Professional Development Conference and Exposition to be held in Denver this June.
Join the FUN - take part in the NAOSH Week Kids Poster Contest!
