A Legacy of Safety
Since 1903, we have worked to improve living and working conditions for people around the world. Throughout the 20th century, our standards for products like fire extinguishers and automatic sprinklers, home electronics and appliances, fire doors and building materials, and even life jackets, made homes and workplaces safer during a period of incredible progress.
Guiding Innovation
Today, we continue to guide the safe development of new technologies with standards that address risks and hazards as they arise and evolve. Our standards for e-bikes and scooters are helping to reduce devastating fires, our standards for electric vehicles and charging systems are protecting users from dangerous electric shock hazards, our standards for portable generators are support the prevention of fatal carbon monoxide poisonings, and our standards for products containing button- and coin-cell batteries are helping to make tragic battery ingestion incidents among small children a problem of the past.
We’re driven to make the world safer, and we look forward to working with people who share our passion.
Committed to Our Culture
We are committed to creating a culture where every employee feels valued for who they are and what they bring to our mission of working for a safer, more secure, and more sustainable world. By promoting an open and inclusive approach to communication, collaboration, and decision-making, we invite our colleagues to imagine boldly and expand their perspectives. We want our colleagues to feel connected to our purpose and to each other as they bring their talents, experiences, and unique ideas to advance safety science in the 21st century.
