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.
