Mission:"The unique mission of the National Safety Council, Greater Omaha Chapter is to promote safety and health by providing programs, resource services and education to reduce personal and economic loss associated with injuries, accidents and health hazards in the Greater Omaha area."




NEARLY 14,000 NEBRASKANS are injured each year through some form of preventable accident, and many never fully recover. In fact, you or someone you know …



  • May have been injured in a car crash

  • May have suffered a serious brain injury from a skateboarding or bike accident

  • Is an older adult who fell and broke a hip and permanently lost mobility.


Our vision at the National Safety Council, Greater Omaha Chapter is to create an injury free world. Imagine what that would mean… no broken bones, serious burns, poisonings, drowning, suffocations, brain injuries, or deep lacerations.


We’re making lots of headway. In fact, traffic injuries have been reduced by more than 45% over the past 10 years through education, engineering and enforcement. Safety belts and child passenger seat usage are at all time highs.


Through the leadership of the National Safety Council, Greater Omaha Chapter, our 5 county area was designated a Safe Community by the World Health Organization (WHO) on May 17, 2007. Greater Omaha was the 4th designation in the U.S. and the 113th in the world to receive this designation.


Our partners are health care, businesses, schools, government, law enforcement, firefighters, emergency services, and residents in our area. All of these partners make up the Council and work with us as we champion safety and health in Pottawattamie County in Iowa and Douglas, Sarpy, Washington, and Cass counties in Nebraska.


The Council is led by a 57 member volunteer board of directors, a staff of 124 (102 are part-time instructors for our wide range of safety education programs) and hundreds of volunteers that help us carry out our mission. We’re the organization that keeps you and your family safe at home, at work, at play and on the road.


As the safety education arm in the community, the Council can do so much more in the nway of education, training and providing resources. But we need your help. Please help nus help you and others in our community move closer to that injury free world by nproviding contributions to safety through any or all of the following: participation, nvolunteerism, and financial support.
