The number of people hurt or killed each year because of unsafe behaviors is unacceptable. In 2008, there were an estimated 76,700 deaths in the home and community. Each of these deaths could have been prevented. NSC asks the public to address this issue by getting involved in their communities as Safety Ambassadors.
As a Safety Ambassador, you can help protect your family, neighbors and others in your community by sharing information about injury prevention and encouraging people to change their behaviors. Anyone can be a Safety Ambassador. There is no age limit or time commitment required. All you need is a desire to protect those you care about.
Sign up today to receive the Safety Ambassador Kit. It includes materials on where the greatest number of preventable injuries and deaths are occurring, tip sheets, posters and more to educate those around you about how to stay safe.

NSC is on a mission to minimize the number of preventable injuries and deaths. We can’t do it alone.

The acts you perform as a Safety Ambassador can also help NSC perform A Million Acts of Safety. One seemingly small act has the potential to save lives, which is why your participation is so important.
