Administrative / Biographical History

The National Safety First Association (NSFA) was formed in 1923 from an amalgamation of two accident-prevention organisations, the London Safety First Council (founded 1916) and the British Industrial Safety First Association (founded 1918). In 1941 the NFSA was renamed the Royal Society for the Prevention of Accidents (RoSPA). The NSFA was a non-governmental organisation who sought a reduction in accidents not only on the roads but also across British industry, especially mining and dockyards. They did this through ‘Safety First’ multi-media campaigns to raise public awareness of industrial and home accidents as well as their prevention. These included the use of printed publications, posters, film lecture tours, organising school competitions as well as research analysis on fatal accidents. They also ran award schemes amongst their members with certificates and badges awarded to accident-free candidates. The NSFA also ran the Road Fellowship League which was their ‘road users’ section. Members would sign up annually and pledge to conform with the ‘Code of the League’ that covered accident prevention rules for pedestrians, cyclists and motor vehicle drivers.
