What Oklahoma Safety Council does

Oklahoma Safety Council (OSC) is a 501(c)-style non-profit organization founded in 1947 and headquartered in Oklahoma City, operating as the state chapter of the National Safety Council. The organization provides workplace safety, OSHA-authorized, First Aid/CPR/AED, defensive driving, and contractor training services primarily to employers in Oklahoma's oil & gas, construction, manufacturing, utilities, and healthcare verticals, with a membership base of 700+ businesses statewide. Its training portfolio spans core compliance courses, nationally recognized professional certificate programs (COSS, COSM, CSHO, ASC, SSH, SHEP), and specialized programs such as Basic Orientation Plus (BOP) for petrochemical contractors.

OSC delivers training through three physical facilities (Oklahoma City, Tulsa, Hugo satellite office), on-site customer delivery, and online/virtual modalities. As a Host-Training Organization for the UT Arlington OSHA Training Institute Education Center, OSC is authorized to deliver OSHA outreach and institute-level courses. Its technology stack is conventional: Zoom for virtual instructor-led sessions, Webnet Training as a partner LMS platform, Constant Contact for email marketing, and EventLeaf for conference management. The organization maintains a content library of over 1,000 free safety training videos available to members.

OSC generates revenue through tiered annual memberships ($499/year for 1-49 employees up to $24,999/year for 20,000+ employees), per-participant course registration fees with member/non-member differential pricing, an annual conference with 76+ exhibitors, monthly networking luncheons, and partnerships (including Webnet and Oklahoma Family Health). Membership automatically confers National Safety Council chapter benefits, including Safety+Health magazine and access to NSC curriculum. The organization is governed by an independent Board of Directors representing member companies and operates without disclosed private equity, venture, or parent-company ownership.

Regional players
