by Laura Hahnefeld

For small businesses navigating the daily challenges of safety in the workplace, the Arizona Chapter National Safety Council is a powerful partner. This mission-driven organization goes beyond compliance, striving to instill a culture of safety that safeguards everyone — both employees and customers — from preventable injuries and deaths. By partnering with ACNSC, companies integrate essential safety practices into their operations, creating safer, more productive workplaces.

Tailored Safety Solutions

For small business owners, finding safety solutions that truly match the individuality of their operations can often be difficult. Rick Murray, ACNSC’s CEO and president, emphasizes the broader impact of workplace safety, stating, “The value of safety in small business goes well beyond human capital. Studies have shown businesses with a defined safety program are more profitable because employees feel safe and valued.” The ACNSC recognizes this challenge and gives companies resources that workers can actually use when faced with risk.
