Driven by Data
NSC compiles Injury Facts®, the definitive guide on preventable deaths and injuries in the United States for over 110 years. In 2025, our data was cited over 16,000 times in news stories across the globe.
Supported by Philanthropy
As a nonprofit organization, philanthropy generates new opportunities and sustains our relentless focus on making people safer, from the workplace to anyplace.
In 2025, NSC received more than $16 million in philanthropic contributions from individuals, corporations and foundations — funds that play a vital role in supporting our mission of a safer tomorrow. They support research to identify leading causes of fatalities and injuries, education to increase awareness and mitigate risks, and advocacy to ensure the widespread implementation of lifesaving solutions.
From the Workplace to Anyplace
Workplace fatality rates have dramatically decreased since 1928, but there is still a lot of progress necessary to improve the modern safety landscape. Recent data shows workplace deaths continue to slowly decrease – more work is still needed. NSC works with employers of all sizes to adopt a safety culture that protects employees, improves their wellbeing and boosts workplace efficiency.
Almost every family, individual and business in this country relies on our nation’s roadways to reach their destination safely. In 2025, an estimated 38,000 people lost their lives in traffic crashes in the U.S.
Year after year, the National Safety Council advocates for safer roads – advancing legislation, improving vehicle design, supporting infrastructure innovation and promoting critical education for all roadway users.
