National Safety Council is a premier, non-profit, self-financing and tripartite apex body at the national level in India.[1] It is an autonomous body, which was set up by the Government of India, Ministry of Labour and Employment on 4 March 1966 to generate, develop and sustain a voluntary movement on Safety, Health and Environment (SHE) at the national level. It was registered as a Society under the Societies Registration Act, 1860 and subsequently, as a Public Trust under the Bombay Public Trust Act, 1950.

Vision[edit]

We equally believe that their effective addressal is greatly facilitated if their intrinsic relationship with quality and productivity is well demonstrated.
