The objectives of CSC are:

• To focus attention on the vital importance of safety;
• To arouse public interest and participation in safety measures;
• To publish and disseminate educational programs and information relating to safety;
• To promote and support the development of safer products and services;

As a not-for-profit organization, CSC draws upon the dedication and commitment of its directors, committee members and instructors to deliver its mandate.

To fulfill its mandate, CSC provides a wide range of high quality programs, services and information aimed at educating and influencing Canadians on matters of safety.
