American Society of Safety Engineers
- American Society of Safety Engineers
The American Society of Safety Engineers (ASSE), founded October 14, 1911, is the oldest and largest professional safety organization. Its more than 31,000 members manage, supervise and consult on Occupational safety and health and environmental issues in industry, insurance, government and education.
The ASSE was created partially in response to the March 1911 Triangle Shirtwaist Factory fire, which killed 148 garment workers in New York who couldn't safely get out of the building which was on fire, or died from jumping out of the windows.
Each year ASSE, along with many other organizations and the Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) Alliance partners, take part in North American Occupational Safety and Health Week (NAOSH) in order to help raise awareness of occupational safety and health.
