Minnesota Safety Council, Inc.
The Minnesota Safety Council is a member-based, private, not-for-profit organization dedicated to preventing unintentional injuries - a leading cause of death, disability and economic loss. We provide programs, products and services to help people prevent unintentional injuries at work, on the road, at home and at play. Our membership consists of over 2,000 public and private employers. Our classes, seminars and consultation in occupational safety and health, DOT compliance and First Aid help employers develop safety programs, comply with regulations and keep their workers safe. We also supply safety training programs, reference materials and safety products, including AEDs, to support workplace safety programs. We offer traffic programs for the workplace and the larger community, including defensive driving classes through which senior drivers can receive an insurance discount, and interactive online programs for teens. We create and make available numerous resources and programs to support safety at home and in the community and serve as the lead agency for Safe Kids Minnesota, a statewide network of organizations involved in preventing childhood injury. We believe in the strength of coalition; convening and working in partnership with other organizations is central to our mission. Since 1928, our sole focus has been to make Minnesota a safer and healthier place to live. We hope you'll join us in that effort!
