NATIONAL SAFETY COUNCIL

Fifty Glorious Years

About NSC:

National Safety Council (NSC) was set up by the Ministry of Labour, Government

of India on 4th March, 1966 to generate, develop and sustain a voluntary

movement on Safety, Health and Environment (SHE) at the national level. Its

mission is building capacity, developing material, methods, procedures and

strengthening the national movement (including unorganized sector) on Safety,

Health and Environment to prevent and mitigate the loss of life, human suffering

and economic losses.

NSC provides a number of services to its members. These include organising and

conducting specialized training courses, conferences, seminars & workshops;

conducting consultancy studies such as safety audits, hazard evaluation & risk

assessment; designing and developing SHE promotional materials &

publications; facilitating organisations in celebrating various campaigns e.g. Road

Safety Awareness Week, National Safety Day/Week, Fire Service Week, World

Environment Day, and recognizing meritorious safety performance of

organizations.

SHE Training:

National Level Training:

The council develops and organizes a wide range of short-term National Training

programmes to meet the emerging needs and to promote a preventive safety

culture. These programmes are designed for senior and middle management

personnel, safety committee members, SHE professionals and trade union

representatives. NSC maintains a pool of experts for conducting these

programmes. These programmes are supported by Safety Videos, Exercises and

Case studies.

Inplant (Unit level) Training:

NSC designs and conducts need based training programmes at the organization

premises. These programmes are best suited for various levels of employees

including Senior managers, Supervisors and Workers.

Why E-learning?

Traditional methods of learning i.e class room training/ coaching have limitations

in terms of time and cost involved. There is very little exibility in traditional training

for a working person to enhance his learning required for career advancement,

whereas, E-learning mode offers an effective alternative. NSC is constantly

looking for the new methods and techniques to reach out to maximum number of

organizations and their employees for creating awareness & enhancing

competency in the area of Safety & Health.

The E-learning is fast becoming popular as it offers following benets.

Cost Effective and Time Saving.

Easily accessible as per participants convenience.

Continuous assessment of the progress.

Why this course?

Construction industry plays an important role in developing country's

infrastructure and it accounts for nearly 45% of total investment in infrastructure in

India. It is the second largest sector after agricultural in terms of employment.

More than 44 million persons are employed in Construction Industry. As per the

reports published by National Skill Development Corporation, 5-6% of total work

force in Construction Industry is required for addressing SHE issues.

Accidents affects lives, disrupt work and are costly. Accidents at Construction site

may be due to collapse of building parts, fall of persons and objects from heights ,

ladders and stairs; loading , unloading and transportation of materials; working

with machines; blasting with explosives, etc. Strong Supervisory skills are pre-

requisite to the success of any construction project. Effective supervision at

workplaces will lead to improvement in Safety at Construction sites resulting in

savings in project cost.

As a result of the consultation with the experts from the construction industry, NSC

has specially developed this course for those individuals from the industry who are

unable to avail the traditional mode of SHE training. This E-learning course aims

at imparting & improving the Safety & Health Competency needed for timely and

cost effective, accident free completion of the construction projects.
