The Florida Safety Council Story

A Legacy of Safety Leadership Since 1953

Founded in 1953 by concerned citizens focused on improving roadway safety, the Florida Safety Council began as the Orange County Citizens Safety Council in Orlando. Initially centered on traffic safety, the organization has grown into a comprehensive statewide safety education provider.

Today, the Council operates classrooms and driving ranges across Central Florida, maintains a fleet of driver education vehicles, and supports specialized departments focused on workplace safety and behavioral education. With more than 100 qualified instructors, the Florida Safety Council is recognized as a trusted leader in safety training and compliance-based education.

How the Florida Safety Council Operates

As a private nonprofit 501(c)(3) organization, the Florida Safety Council funds its programs through safety training services, membership dues, safety product sales, charitable contributions, and community fundraising events. These resources allow the Council to deliver professional training services while also supporting free and low-cost safety education initiatives for individuals and communities in need.
