The Public Employees Safety Association "PESA" was established by Public Employees of the Maryland Government Entities and recognized by the Governor of Maryland in 1967 as a non-profit organization for employees of state and municipal governments.

The objective of the organization is to promote health and safety through accident prevention programs. This is accomplished through professional meetings, group discussions, publications and educational training progrms that are designed for presentation at the worker level.

PESA will strive to keep an active, diverse membership to support public sector needs.
