The SDSC provides:
- Workplace safety training and consultation
- Packaged training, reference books
- First Aid/CPR/AED training
- Traffic safety training and information
- Motorcycle Safety Training
- Family/community safety resources
- Safety gear and devices (bicycle helmets, smoke and carbon monoxide alarms, first aid kits, weather radios and more)
