History of National Safety Day
The National Safety Council of India is a non-profit organization created to assist in the creation, implementation and maintenance of any national level volunteer health, safety and development signal. The day was born out of the inaugural Industrial Safety Conference of the Ministry of Labor and Employment in India, which recognized the need for national and state-level safety councils. He proposed the National Security Council, which created the holiday as a way of encouraging people to take safety precautions. In 1972, National Safety Day was celebrated for the first time on the foundation day of the National Security Council.
