Safety

Onslow County is committed to providing a safe and healthy working environment for all employees. It is our policy to ensure that every reasonable precaution is taken to prevent the incidence of accidents, injuries, and illnesses for all employees. We feel there is no job or task that cannot be performed safely and we expect each employee to follow safe working procedures and use good common sense at all times. 

Onslow County is a member of the National Safety Council (NSC) and fully supports the NSC's safety initiatives.
