Driven by Data
NSC compiles Injury Facts®, the definitive guide on preventable deaths and injuries in the United States for nearly 100 years.
Supported by Philanthropy
As a nonprofit organization, philanthropy generates new opportunities and sustains our relentless focus in making our world safer, from the workplace to anyplace.
In 2022, NSC received $6.1 million in philanthropic contributions from individuals, corporations and foundations wanting to make a difference. These funds support research to identify leading causes of fatalities, education to increase awareness and minimize risks, and advocacy to ensure the adoption of safety and incident prevention measures.
From the Workplace to Anyplace
Workplace fatality rates have dramatically decreased since 1928, but improvement in the last decade has mostly stalled. More than 4,400 workers still died from preventable incidents in 2021 and medically consulted injuries totaled more than 4.2 million. NSC enables employers of all sizes to create a culture of safety that goes beyond compliance because compromising safety should never be part of getting the job done.
Every family, individual and business in this country relies on our nation’s roadways to get to their destination safely. Yet we lost more than 46,000 people on our roads in 2022. NSC works to address what causes these crashes and to better understand the role people, vehicles, road design, technology and crash response resources play in roadway safety.
