Strategic Initiatives - National Safety Council

NSC Initiatives

Unintentional injuries are the fourth leading cause of death in America. As the nation's leading safety advocate, we engage businesses, government agencies, elected officials and the public to address the main causes of unintentional injuries and death. Please take a moment to learn about our top strategic initiatives:

Workplace Training

Creating a culture of workplace safety begins with a well-trained workforce. NSC safety training builds skills needed to save lives.

We deliver curriculum online, in a classroom or at your place of business. Armed with the latest research, NSC courses incorporate OSHA compliance regulations and global best practices. Check out some of the workplace safety courses we have available for your employees.

NSC also provides safety training in more than 100 countries. We work with organizations of every size and type – from multinational corporations to mom-and-pop shops to government agencies. Learn about our global reach in health, safety and the environment.

The Journey to Safety Excellence

The importance of safety in business goes beyond compliance. Safety is a value – an opportunity to engage all employees in a journey that prevents harm, enhances productivity and contributes to profitability.

NSC offers a roadmap to help you bring that value to your organization. When you sign up for the Journey to Safety Excellence, you gain access to online tools, including a Safety System Assessment that is helpful in pinpointing specific safety improvements needed.
