Introduction
The National safety Day is observed every year in
India on 4th March. It is observed to highlight the importance of safety
in all spheres of life so as to prevent mishaps and incidents resulting
out of neglect or lack of awareness. NSD is celebrated on 4th March
because on this day National Safety Council of India (NSC) was
established in 1972. NSC is an apex non-profit, tripartite body
(involving 3 divisions), registered under the Societies registration Act
1860 and Bombay Public Trust Act 1950. It has been set to educate and
influence society to adopt appropriate policies, practices and
procedures for preventing and reducing human suffering and economic
losses arising from all type of incidents.
Safety Day Activities and Events
NSD has significantly contributed to reduction in the
rate of industrial incidents and created wide spread safety awareness
even in such sectors which not have been covered by any
safety legislation. The campaign is comprehensive, general and flexible
with an appeal to the participating organizations to develop specific
activities as per their safety requirements.
