Throughout its growth, this non-profit organization has dedicated itself to advancing the safety profession and enhancing the knowledge and capabilities of safety practitioners.

ASSE has played a key role in the development of many important national programs and standards. Society members have served on federal committees supported key safety and health legislation, and sponsored safety awareness and professional development activities.

In 1948, ASSE worked with the National Safety Council to research plastic eye protection. A decade later, the Society sponsored research with the Air Force, which led to advances in fall protection belts and harnesses which were later realized in the American National Standards.

In 1964, the Society provided important information for the revision of the Walsh-Healy Act. In 1971, President Nixon appointed three ASSE members to various Occupational Safety and Health Administration positions, including the Assistant Secretary of Labor.

ASSE also signed a contract with the National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health to develop an accident potential recognition program. In 1986, the United States Congress passed legislation commemorating National Safety Week as an observance of important safety and health issues.

About the Chapter: The Southern Nevada Chapter was chartered in 1968. From those early days to present time, we have grown and diversified our chapter membership to support Professional Safety i

Government, Business and Industry, Building Trades, Education, Healthcare, and Hospitality.

We are proud to be included with the 30,000 dedicated Safety Professionals in the American Society of Safety Engineers.
