Texas Chapter Members....
We all know that today's economic climate is most challenging as we face the many day-to-day safety and health concerns before us. It is in these uncertain times that we need to pay close attention to making safety an integral operating element in and off the work-site.
Remember, your Texas Chapter is your partner who supports your need in making effective and productive safety conscious decisions affecting your workforce.
If you have any questions and/or concerns, or a need to discuss any of our products or services, or you would just like us to stop-by and visit your operation, please do not hesitate to call upon us.
Your NSC - A More Defined Role!!
Our new mission statement reflects your Council's diversity on how it daily serves the safety and health demands of our ever-changing world.
It states - "The National Safety Council saves lives by preventing injuries and deaths at work, in homes, communities and on the roads through leadership, research, education and advocacy."
It is good for all of us to remember our commitment and challenge to "make a difference" and thereby making this world a "safer place" to live and work.
"Safety Ambassador" - A Call to Action for all Texans
This past September, the National Safety Council debuted its "Safety Ambassador" program - a grassroots effort to involve individuals as safety educators in their own communities - at its 96th annual Congress & Expo in Anaheim, California. The Safety Ambassador program provides volunteers with the tools they need to help friends, neighbors, co-workers and other associates learn more about the leading causes of accidental death and injury and how to keep them stay safe. Its an outreach program focusing on motor vehicle safety, falls prevention, unintentional drug overdose, and overexertion. Whether directly, or indirectly, each of us has been touched by these issues. Yet, the injuries and deaths caused in these areas are preventable.
Change can happen, but the Council cant do it alone. Your Texas Chapter needs your help. Please talk to your local businesses, your friends, and your family. We need you to help them understand how they can stay safe behind the wheel, in your community, and while at home. And, were giving you the materials you need to be successful. Our Safety Ambassador kit enables anyone to advocate for safety. The program contains everything you need - posters, tip sheets, and presentations. These materials are for you to use and share. By going to its website - www.safetyambassador.nsc.org - you can download the kit or request the CD when you register to participate. Participating is easy. This is a free program with no requirements. It really is just about making the world safer.
