Community Safety Programs

In 2018, the National Safety Council recorded that 125,300 unintentional deaths occurred in the United States in either homes or communities. 

About 12 out of 100 people were injured and about 1 out of 2,500 died from a preventable injury in the home and community venue in 2018.

The St. Joseph Safety and Health Council is dedicated to preventing these accidental injuries and deaths by providing public education and awareness.  The Council has several programs that are offered on a regular basis, and are willing to work with you to develop a presentation that fits your needs.  We will also attend safety and health fairs, and provide safety and prevention literature upon request.
