MSCI and NSC Unveil Program

The Metals Service Center Institute (MSCI; Rolling Meadows, IL) has unveiled customized tools available to their members through their partnership with the National Safety Council (NSC; Itasca, IL). These new resources are optimized for the metals industry and include:

• Access to NSC safety experts
• Local access to the Council’s valuable Advanced Safety Certificate program, the gold standard in safety training
• Access to tools that will help member companies assess their own safety programs and safety professionals against industry competency models approved by the MSCI Safety Committee; and
• Other valuable NSC training and information resources.

The announcement was made at MSCI’s Safety Conference, which is collocated with the 2016 NSC Congress & Expo in Anaheim, CA. “Advocating for an industry-wide safety culture is a critical part of all that we do,” said M. Robert Weidner, III, the president and chief executive officer of MSCI. “We take this partnership very seriously. For us it means building a long, lasting relationship. We believe in working with the very best, which is why we’ve chosen to partner with NSC, the recognized leader in safety.”

“For more than 100 years, we have been devoted to making our world safer,” added Deborah A.P. Hersman, the president and chief executive officer of NSC. “We are pleased to join with them as they elevate safety and bring it to their members. By blending their industry expertise with our expertise in safety, together we will help companies create strong, lasting safety cultures.”

Helping members improve their safety programs has been an important initiative for MSCI. These new resources are in addition to the offerings already available to members, including the annual Safety Conference, a Safety Handbook, the Optimum Safety Helpline and the Safety Survey. Founded in 1909, the Metals Service Center Institute is a non-profit association based in Rolling Meadows that serves the metals industry and has more than 300 members operating from 1,200 locations in the United States, Canada, Mexico, and throughout the world.

Founded in 1913 and chartered by Congress, the National Safety Council is a non-profit organization whose mission is to save lives by preventing injuries and deaths at work, in homes and communities, and on the road through leadership, research, education and advocacy.
