Service Corp of Retired Executives SCORE

Small Business Development Centers are located in every state, generally as a part of a university or college. They offer management assistance, training, and counseling. The Service Corps of Retired Executives (SCORE) provides counseling and free advice, as well as workshops on how to start a business. SCORE will be listed in your local phone book, or your library can tell you how to contact them. 

Safety and loss prevention professionals may want to look outside the normal safety and loss prevention agencies, such as the Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) and National Institute of Occupational Safety and Health (NIOSH), for information and assistance for specific safety and health issues. For example, the Service Corp of Retired Executives (SCORE) is an outstanding source for free assistance by retired executives who have vast knowledge in the areas of business and safety.
