Fall Protection

Mid Atlantic Safety Council (MASC) is a 501c3 educational nonprofit organization providing safety orientation training to workers in NC and SC, and through suitcase sessions, to workers across the USA.

Our mission is to improve workplace performance by providing tools and training to increase awareness of potential hazards and safety precautions for the betterment of those in our community.

We're making progress. Take a look at our current regional Safety Metrics Report.

Over 150 contractor companies in our region are members of MASC.

Our council is a member of the Association of Reciprocal Safety Councils (ARSC). We honor Basic Orientation Plus® Training Certification Cards issued by other member councils. Visit the ARSC website for more information.

Over two dozen owner sites - chemical plants, equipment manufacturers, hospitals - and 150 plus contractor companies in NC and SC are members of MASC. Participating sites require contractors working at their sites to attend a general safety orientation before coming to the site.

This course, Basic Orientation Plus (BOP) is taught the first time in a classroom setting, with annual refreshers available via computer-based training. All sites also require contractors to complete a companion site-specific orientation focused on the unique work rules and potential hazards of each site.
