Founded in 1911, the American Society of Safety Engineers (ASSE) is the world’s oldest safety society. With 35,000 occupational safety, health and environmental (SH&E) professional members who manage, supervise, research and consult on safety, health, and the environment in all industries, government and education. ASSE is a nonprofit organization. ASSE was founded in New York City a few months after the March, 1911 Triangle Shirtwaist Factory fire. Due to the lack of safety measures this fire resulted in the death of 146 garment workers. This led to legislation requiring improved factory worker safety standards, the development of workplace safety initiatives and the establishment of ASSE. The Society's members work to prevent workplace fatalities, injuries and illnesses. ASSE offers its members opportunities for networking, professional development, global media outreach, government affairs programs, standards development, publications and other resources. ==Organization == ASSE has 151 chapters, 40 sections and 65 student sections located in 75 countries.
