About the National Safety Council
Mission
Vision
The National Safety Council is a 501 (c) (3) non-for-profit, charitable, international public service organization dedicated to educating and influencing people to prevent accidental injuries and deaths.
Founded in 1913 and chartered by the U.S. Congress in 1953, the NSC is the only organization promoting safety in the workplace, in transportation, and in homes and communities.
Members of the NSC include 18,600 companies of all sizes and from a broad spectrum of industries, representing 33,300 locations and 8.5 million employees around the world.
The National Safety Council serves as the nation's leading resource on industry trends, professional development, and strategies for advancing safety and health programs and practices. The Council is active in converting injury research and trends information into injury prevention education, training, consultation and advocacy leadership.
As a membership organization, the National Safety Council provides opportunities for greater engagement in addressing industry-specific issues.
Members of the Workplace, Transportation and Home & Community Venues bring their perspectives from multiple industries to identify common issues and trends. Members contribute to the Council's continuing efforts to achieve a holistic safety agenda that supports its strategic plan.
Through the support and collaboration of a national network of 40 state and regional chapters, the National Safety Council has an even greater impact and presence at the local level providing community-based programs and services, trainings, conferences, workshops and consultations as well as a local voice for safety and health advocacy.
With the generous support of our friends and partners in safety, the National Safety Council is able to have an even greater impact on reducing accidental injuries and deaths in workplaces, on roads and highways, and in homes and communities throughout the United States and around the world.
