Our Vision

The National Safety Council is a mission-based organization, focused on eliminating the leading causes of preventable death and injury.

We focus our efforts and thought leadership on impacting safety through three strategic pillars: Workplace, Roadway and Impairment - until the data tells us otherwise.

Every one of our employees, member organizations and strategic partners have one thing in common: a commitment to enable people to live their fullest lives.

Our Values

  • Be Safe: I commit to keep myself and others safe.
  • Be Bold: I challenge the status quo, to make the impossible possible.
  • Be Impactful: I exceed expectations for all those I serve.

We find impactful opportunities for growth and development. We create a safe environment that includes mental, physical, psychological, and emotional protections.
