The nation’s leading safety advocate for more than 100 years<\/a><\/strong>, the National Safety Council is a nonprofit organization with the mission of eliminating preventable deaths from the workplace to anyplace.<\/p>\n [\/vc_column_text][vc_video link=”https:\/\/vimeo.com\/384102246\/9e4feee0e5″ el_width=”50″ align=”center”][vc_empty_space height=”30px”][vc_row_inner][vc_column_inner width=”1\/3″][vc_column_text]<\/p>\n [\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column_inner][vc_column_inner width=”2\/3″][vc_single_image image=”2645″ img_size=”full” add_caption=”yes” onclick=”link_image”][\/vc_column_inner][\/vc_row_inner][vc_empty_space height=”27px”][vc_column_text]<\/p>\n With safety being a key value for employees, this year NSC employees were tasked with setting individual safety goals. This included conducting office inspections, chair-side ergonomic assessments, working with our Emergency Preparedness Committee to increase first aid training, Stop the Bleed training, customer service paging training and emergency preparedness drills.<\/p>\n After experiencing two calendar years (2017 and 2018) and over 1 million hours without a recordable incident, NSC recorded 4 on-the-job injuries during 2019. Our 2019 incident rate increased to 1.5, with 1.3 being the average recordable rate for the professional and business services industry sector.<\/p>\n As a mission-driven nonprofit organization, revenue from our programs, services and philanthropic donations goes right back into our advocacy work so we can help people live their fullest lives.
