About the National Safety Council
Mission
Vision
The National Safety Council saves lives by preventing injuries and deaths at work, on the roads and in homes and communities. We engage organizations and individuals through our leadership and efforts in research, education and advocacy. We are a membership organization and primary national resource on industry trends. Our 55,000 member companies, representing 8.5 million employees, turn to the NSC for professional development and strategies to advance safety as a core value.
The NSC’s strategic priorities are based on scientific research that allows us to better define and understand issues and trends in unintentional injuries and injury-deaths, and develop programs to address these trends and ultimately save lives.
The NSC works at a local level through its nationwide network of 39 state and regional chapters that invites members and the public to more fully engage in industry-specific injury prevention issues. Chapters identify safety needs of particular interest to their areas and deliver community-based programs and services, trainings, conferences, workshops and consultations, and serve as a local voice for safety advocacy.
The NSC was founded in 1913 and formally recognized as a safety leader by an Act of Congress in 1953 that granted a Congressional Charter to the National Safety Council. We are a 501 (c) (3) non-profit organization and the only major national entity dedicated to safety of people in all aspects of their lives: at work, on the roads and in homes and communities.
With the generous support of our friends and partners in safety, the NSC is able to make a difference. We require significant funding to address our nation’s escalating safety challenges and unnecessary loss of life. Contributions to the NSC’s Friends of Safety program support advocacy on safety issues. The NSC also offers memorial and tribute donations, planned giving and naming opportunities.
