Itasca, IL. - The National Safety Council recently launched two initiatives aimed at future safety professionals. Now, full-time college students pursuing careers in safety, health and environmental programs can register for free National Safety Council memberships. Student member benefits include opportunities to network with seasoned safety and health leaders, career development activities, the latest on industry news, an annual subscription to Safety+Health magazine and access to members-only educational resources.
The Council has also created a Faculty Portal for college and university faculty who teach future safety professionals. Once registered, faculty can access a complete list of NSC Press books, order desk copies of books and obtain industry news.
