We focus on programs and policies to increase attentive driving, ensure passenger safety, improve teen driving skills and instill safer driving habits for everyone. Highlights include:
● Leading in driver safety training – We offer a variety of best-in-class trainings to employers, employees and the public to reduce motor vehicle crashes.
● Road to Zero – We work with more than 1,500 organizations to advance proven traffic safety strategies and eliminate traffic fatalities by 2050.
● Distracted Driving Awareness Month – Each April, we lead Distracted Driving Awareness Month and bring attention to the many dangerous distractions fighting for drivers’ attention behind the wheel.
● Child Passenger Safety – For more than 20 years, NSC has managed the national Child Passenger Safety Board, helping to certify more than 200,000 child passenger safety technicians to ensure children are secured safely on every ride. In addition, NSC manages the National Digital Car Seat Check Form, the Child Passenger Safety Learning Portal, NHTSA curricula and offers resources to prevent pediatric vehicular heatstroke.
● DriveitHOME – This program provides free resources for parents and guardians of teen drivers to get and stay involved as their teens learn to drive.
● Check To Protect – A national campaign to encourage drivers to check the recall status of their vehicles and have open recalls fixed immediately.
● Our Driving Concern – This turnkey program brings roadway safety education to employers while focusing on risky behaviors that cause the most crashes.
NSC, thanks to the generous support from U. S. Steel Corporation, has established an evidence-based and validated serious incident and fatality (SIF) prevention program we hope will become a model for organizations to trust and follow. This model is accessible, easy to implement and effective in keeping workers safe.
When you visit the model webpage, it will walk you step-by-step through essential resources, tools and guidelines that can help users understand and implement various aspects of the SIF Model.
