About us

The National Safety Information Exchange is a dedicated group, focused on the compilation of written works geared toward the safety and health of First Responders and Disaster Worker’s. It is our hope that we will have contributed to providing the best possible information to allow responders to make informed decisions regarding their safety.

Safety Guidelines for First Responders & Disaster Workers’ is the most extensive baseline safety orientation that any responder will ever receive. It does not take the place of any disaster or emergency specific event but serves as the baseline from which to make informed decisions.

As a separate responder tool, we have created The Safety Reference Directory which is the most comprehensive collection of safety, fire-rescue, emergency Management, environmental and occupational health and safety references and resource data, etc, ever. It is our hope that this work will provide open ready access to comprehensive reference and resource data that will lead to reduced injuries, illnesses and death. Access to this data is currently provided as a subscription service and provides open access to thousands of data listings. (www.safetyreference.com).

Our ultimate goal is to provide expedited, readily available safety data, to allow users to make informed decisions regarding emergency, environmental and occupational health and safety issues. We are a small group that relies on contributions from subscriptions and sponsorship to the NSIE. Our hopes are to assure always, that we may provide expedited open access to this information. Please join us as an NSIE subscriber or sponsor and help us enhance and expand upon the vast database. This work will empower those responsible for safety of others.

These works are a crucial part of ensuring your own safety in an emergency or disaster event. Managing your role in self preservation will lead to your being a more effective responder to any given event.
