Topic Safety For Non-Profits (S4NP)
Safety For Non-Profits (S4NP) is a non-profit organization that has a strategic partnership with ASSP. Founded by Occupational Health and Safety (OHS) professionals, S4NP is an organization that is dedicated to raising awareness about safety and health issues faced by non-profit organizations. S4NP provides pro-bono advisory services to these organizations, which play a crucial role in addressing social issues and advocating for various causes.
As of 2017, the U.S. nonprofit sector employed over 12 million people, highlighting a significant need for health and safety support. According to the US Bureau of Labor & Standards (BLS) statistics, there is at least one fatality each week that impacts either a nonprofit employee or a nonprofit volunteer. Currently, S4NP has over 300 safety professionals volunteering across more than 20 states. These volunteers are covered by S4NP’s professional liability insurance and receive comprehensive training, quality control, peer support, tools, and mentoring.
This presentation will explain how ASSP chapters can further engage their members by participating in local community efforts to help non-profits advance workplace safety. Attendees will be informed on how to join S4NP and deliver safety services to nonprofits in their local community. It will cover the formation of S4NP, the organizations we have already served, volunteer opportunities, and case studies showcasing our work.
OHS professionals have a unique opportunity to give back to their profession and community by providing pro-bono safety and health consulting services to the nonprofit sector. Local ASSP chapters that participate in community outreach meetings with nonprofits are eligible for additional Chapter Operations Management Tool (COMT) points. Lastly, the presentation will explain how the ASSP and S4NP partnership helps advance worker safety and health within the nonprofit community.
