Who is the NSC?
The National Safety Council is a nonprofit organization whose mission is to eliminate preventable injuries and deaths in the workplace, at home, and on the road by focusing on promoting safety through education, training, and providing a wealth of information resources. As part of this mission, the NSC has designated the month of June as “National Safety Month” to bring awareness to the importance of safety.
Triangle Shirtwaist Factory Fire
At the time, this was one of the largest industrial disasters in America, and most of its victims were young women from immigrant backgrounds. One of the most alarming features of this incident was that workers were locked inside the factory to discourage theft and unauthorized breaks. Since this led to many preventable deaths after the fire broke out, labor activists and organizations concerned with worker welfare responded strongly.
Establishment of the NSC
A group of industry leaders came together and established the “National Council for Industrial Safety,” which was renamed the National Safety Council the next year to reflect a broader safety focus that extended beyond industry.
Road and Work Safety
- Human error is the leading cause of motor vehicle accidents in the U.S. Human error can be anywhere from drunk or distracted driving to failure to comply with traffic laws.
- At work, the some of the biggest threats to your safety are overexertion and falling. You can personally reduce your risk by getting the proper training, wearing the right protective gear and knowing your physical limitations.
National Safety Month Today
The NSC and related organizations are determined to make the Triangle fire the last time in which safety was prioritized only after the fact. Safety has to be a forward-looking priority, otherwise the risk is to spend too much effort into responding to tragedy instead of creating cultures of safety that prevent tragedies from ever occurring in the first place.
My home was on the market with three real estate agents and it didn't sell. They all told me that the luxury market was very slow and my home was way overpriced. Amit sold my house in two and half weeks over the asking price. Couldn't be happier!

In the end, I realized I was much better off trusting what Amit told me than listening to the other so-called experts.

Amit knows the luxury real estate market better than any other agent in Miami.
"Amit knows the luxury real estate market better than any other agent in Miami. When it comes to listings, I went back and looked at some of his previous and current listings and I was extremely impressed with the way he marketed his listings and the results he had produced for his past clients. I would definitely trust Amit to sell my home in the Miami area."
