Leading the Way

The National Safety Council saves lives by preventing injuries and deaths at work, in homes and communities, and on the roads, through leadership, research, education and advocacy.

By 2014, the council will save an additional 10,000 lives and prevent 1 million injuries. To achieve this goal, we will continue to partner with businesses, elected officials and the public to make an impact in areas such as distracted driving, teen driving, workplace safety, and safety in the home and community.

We encourage businesses and individuals to get involved, and we provide a variety of ways to do so. Check out the Get Involved section of the Website.

Workplace safety and transportation have been critical areas of focus to the council since its inception in 1913. Over the years, increases in unintentional injury and death rates in the homes and communities have resulted in the council expanding it's focus to include safety in homes and communities.
