Your safety and health are important to us, and we are proud that our approach enables us to bring the OSH community together to connect, learn and grow in a safe environment.
We continue to monitor the latest workplace safety and health guidance related to the COVID-19 pandemic. Under our on-site safety and health plan for SafetyFOCUS 2023 in February in Orlando, FL, and for Safety 2023 in San Antonio, TX, ASSP strongly recommends that attendees stay up to date on their COVID-19 vaccinations and boosters. However, proof of vaccination is not required. We will continue to provide updates on this page and on the event websites as needed and we reserve the right to implement COVID-19-related protocols at our discretion in the training facility.
As a condition of registration, participants agree to follow all local and ASSP safety protocols in place at the time of the course; voluntarily accept the inherent risk of exposure to communicable diseases; and agree to not hold ASSP or its representatives liable for any illness related to that risk. All attendees agree to adhere to our Code of Professional Conduct.
Stay informed about SafetyFOCUS at safetyfocus.assp.org; Safety 2023 at safety.assp.org; and our latest course updates on our educational events calendar.

ASSP Meetings
At this time, all meetings of the Board of Directors, Society councils and committees are being held virtually, as are the majority of our regional operating committee and standards development meetings.
Chapter Guidance
As separate entities, ASSP chapters and their leaders must exercise good judgment in making decisions, and we strongly recommend they follow the Society's prudent approach. This includes assessing risks, working with event hosts to understand safety and health protocols, following the latest CDC guidance on gatherings, face coverings and other measures, and communicating these details frequently with your members. Doing so enables ASSP to achieve a safe and healthy operating environment across the entire organization. We appreciate your thoughtful consideration and implementation of this guidance during the ongoing pandemic.
We thank all of our members and volunteer leaders for their dedication to safe practices and adherence to Society recommendations. Please contact your chapter directly with questions about local ASSP activities.
