The National Safety Council, Nebraska (NSCN) began in 1924 as the Omaha Safety Council, founded by a group of businessmen who concluded that 75% of workplace accidents could be prevented. Today, NSCN is led by a volunteer board of directors and a staff comprised of highly trained industry leaders and expert instructors. NSCN partners are businesses, schools, law enforcement, firefighters, hospitals, and Nebraska communities. The unique mission is to promote safety and health by providing programs, resources, and education to reduce both the personal and economic loss associated with injuries, accidents, and health hazards.
