Mission
The Safety Council of Greater St. Louis is a
non-profit, non-governmental, non-political public
service organization devoted to serving the Greater
St. Louis Metropolitan area through safety and
health education. Our goal is to help people
live longer and healthier lives through accident
prevention.
History
The Safety Council of St. Louis had its beginnings
in 1916 when a small Safety First Committee of the
old Business Men's League was organized. Its
original purpose was for the promotion of industrial
accident prevention work. Until 1918 the
Council operated as a part of the Chamber of
Commerce and had no budget. In 1918 with a
paid staff, the Safety Council left the Chamber of
Commerce and began to devote itself to traffic
matters as well as industrial issues. In 1919
the Safety Council became a chapter of the National
Safety Council. By 1920, the Council
expanded its work into the home, school and other
fields. Annual reviews by the National Safety
Council are necessary to continue chapter status.
Programs
The Safety Council currently serves the St. Louis community
through a vast array of programs which include: SATOP/Substance
Abuse, REACT/Drug
Education, DIP/Driving
Improvement Program, other Court
Programs such as Anger Management, Financial Management,
Petty Larceny. Occupational
Safety Training Programs (OSHA) are available
and include safety training and information for
safety and health professionals, experienced and
novice, including consulting services, certificate
programs, regulatory compliance training, employee
training, best safety practices and management
programs. Community

 A
NOTE FROM THE EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR
Thank
you for supporting the Safety Council of
Greater St. Louis and its programs.
Without your support, the Safety Council
would not be able to serve the people of the
greater St. Louis metropolitan region.
A portion of the funds the Safety Council
receives goes to its community
programs. Last year the Safety Council
directly served more than 13,000 school-age
children through SafeLife Kids® and more
than 5,000 children with our Safetyville
program.
By
choosing the Safety Council of Greater St.
Louis for your court or company mandated
programs, YOU are also helping the children
of the region become safer.
If
you have any questions or need any
assistance, any of the staff or I will be
more than happy to help you!
Thank
you for your support and patronage! On
behalf of the children of the community we
thank you!
Sincerely,
William
Jaggi, CSP
Executive Director
