The Western Carolina Safety Council was organized on July 1, 1930 under the sponsorship of the North Carolina Safety Conference, Inc. We were the first safety council organized in North Carolina which covers 13 Western North Carolina counties. Some of our first meetings were held at the old Battery Park Hotel in Asheville. The records show that the creation of the council was having a positive effect on manufacturing and new safety initiatives were being accomplished each year. The interest and enthusiasm shown at those meetings speak well for the Western North Carolina manufacturers. They made every effort to lower the number of accidents in their plants.

Today, manufacturers are making the same effort to lower the number of accidents that occur at their plant each year, and the council continues to offer their support in educating employees on safety and health related topics.
