The National Safety Council's network of chapters conducts
safety, health and environmental efforts at the community level, providing training,
conferences, workshops, consultation, newsletters, updates and safety support materials,
as well as valuable networking avenues. Located in many cities across the U.S. and
in the United Kingdom, our network extends the Council's visibility and provides
a local voice for advocating issues that can educate, inform, protect, and save
lives.
