Mission Statement

The mission of the Council is to enhance the quality of life in our community through the effective promotion of safety and health; on the highway, in the workplace, in the home and school.

Vision Statement

The Council’s focus on promoting all types of safety is accomplished through an organized application of available resources.  We serve the citizens and businesses through education, active involvement and support for safety and health initiatives. Through cooperative efforts, we make our community a safer place to live, learn, work and play. Participation is based on voluntary involvement.

About KASC

The Kingsport Area Safety Council was established in 1944 by several local businesses in an effort to promote a safer community. Networking with other safety professionals as well as improving the community's perception of safety were primary targets. We are currently managed by a Board of Directors who meet on a monthly basis, and we provide a Community Safety Awareness Meeting the third Tuesday of every month at the Picadilly Restaurant in Kingsport. We recognize the importance of safety in our everyday lives. We also feel that progress in prevention of accidents is best effected by organized and cooperative action on a voluntary basis. Membership is open to individuals as well as businesses. You can find more information on our history and activities throughout this website.
