What is the National Safety Council's Safety Ambassador Program?
It’s 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 can’t do it alone.

NSC needs your help.

Please talk to your local businesses, your friends, and your family. NSC needs you to help your community understand how they can stay safe behind the wheel, in the community, and while at home. And, they're giving you the materials you need to be successful.

Safety Ambassador kit enables anyone to advocate for safety.The program empowers you to help the public. A few ways you can use this program include:

* Approach your local schools to educate
teens about distractions behind the wheel

* Increase awareness of the dangers of
overexertion and how to avoid it

* Offer tips to minimize falls within your
workplace or home

* Help others develop best practices and
enforce good driving behaviors

* Help people prevent unintentional drug
overdose by understanding their risks

If you don’t feel comfortable presenting the enclosed materials, print out the posters and tip sheets and ask your local businesses to display them.
