History
Formed in response to high numbers of motor crashes and other accidents, and with the National Safety Council of the United States of America as a model. On 23 May 1927, representatives of 52 organisations met to discuss safety. Mr Cox of the Royal Automobile Club of Victoria proposed the formation of the Council, 'its objects being safety at work, on the roads, and in the home'.
Now a provider of occupational health and safety training and consulting services.
