During the summer of 1944, a group of safety engineers and supervisors met each week under the auspices of Yale University and the New Haven YMCA Junior College (University of New Haven) for the purpose of studying methods to prevent industrial accidents.

The group became the nucleus of the CONNECTICUT SAFETY SOCIETY. The CONNECTICUT SAFETY SOCIETY. Its purpose was, and still is, to promote occupational safety and health; to promote the study of accident prevention and control techniques for occupational disease; and advance the discipline of industrial safety.

Meetings of the CONNECTICUT SAFETY SOCIETY have a twofold purpose, the first being to bring together individuals who have a similar or allied interests; and secondly, to bring to the members timely topics from speakers who are both knowledgeable and informative.

Our members manage, supervise and consult on safety, health and environmental issues in industry, insurance, government, healthcare and education. The Connecticut Safety Society provides a forum for professional development with a mission to promote safety at work, at home and in the community.
