"An ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure."
—Benjamin Franklin

Part of ASA’s mission as a member organization is to promote and educate our members on safety in their workplaces. Safety touches each of us in our everyday lives, whether it’s on the job, at play, or locking our seatbelt in place before we hit the road.

ASA’s Safety Task Group works to develop useful tools and resources to help our members be safe on the job and in their lives. Below, you’ll find several useful links, including ASA’s Eye on Safety articles, safety-focused webinars, and other timely information to help keep you profitable and safe on the job.
