Safety Ambassador Program
The National Safety Councils Safety Ambassador Program. Is 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 cannot do it alone.
