MSCI sponsors National Safety Council’s Journey to Safety Excellence campaign

The Metals Service Center Institute (MSCI), Rolling Meadows, Ill., has announced it will sponsor the Journey to Safety Excellence campaign of the National Safety Council as one part of a broader program effort to elevate the importance of safety in the metals industry.

More than 10 workers die on the job each day, and 4.8 million are injured annually. It also is estimated that more than 50,000 fatal workplace illnesses and 400,000 nonfatal workplace illnesses occur each year. To address this issue in the metals industry, MSCI and the National Safety Council have developed a safety program for MSCI member organizations focused on education of safety practitioners, safety measurement, and continuous safety improvement.

The Journey to Safety Excellence provides a model and methods for cultivating committed leaders and engaged employees, safety processes and procedures that are embedded in operations, active removal of risk in the workplace, and sound measurement of both lagging and leading indicators of safety performance. The campaign provides safety practitioners access to tools and resources that help organizations of all sizes and levels of safety maturity pinpoint areas of weakness and capitalize on areas of strength.
