NSC Secures $3 Million Grant to Enhance Workplace Safety Technology
The funding from McElhattan Foundation will go to the NSC’s Work to Zero initiative.
The National Safety Council (NSC) has received a $3 million grant from the McElhattan Foundation. This additional funding aims to advance the NSC’s Work to Zero initiative, which focuses on educating employers about technological safety enhancements.
According to a recent release, the Work to Zero program launched the Safety Innovation Journey and has released educational materials and hosted webinars on safety technologies such as drones, fatigue monitoring wearables, proximity sensors, VR/AR and geofencing technology since receiving a similar grant in 2021.
“Through the Work to Zero initiative at NSC, we demonstrate the benefits of safety technology and help employers implement solutions to save lives. None of those efforts would be possible without the McElhattan Foundation,” NSC President and CEO Lorraine Martin said in a statement. “We are thrilled to receive this additional grant from the Foundation and thank them for their continued support as we work to save lives from the workplace to anyplace through the use of technology.”
The McElhattan Foundation, established in 1994 by K.E. McElhattan and his son Kent McElhattan, has a long history of supporting workplace safety. Kent McElhattan, a former NSC Board of Directors member and chairman, was honored with the Flame of Life award in 2021 for his contributions.
The NSC remains committed to its goal of zero workplace fatalities by 2050 through the continued implementation of advanced safety technologies.
