Knowledge Sharing and Analysis
The NASA Safety Center (NSC) provides the infrastructure and Information Technology (IT) support services to inform and empower the SMA workforce. The NSC also enables NASA centers to learn from each other’s successes and mishaps by capturing SMA knowledge and experience from across the agency, developing safety resources, and coordinating and supporting events. Additionally, the NSC provides data management, analysis and reporting to translate safety data into actionable information.
NSC Website
The mobile-friendly NSC website houses a wealth of data and resources for SMA practitioners and other NASA employees. Some of the NSC website resources include materials for safety campaigns, like videos, posters and handouts, best practices, case studies, Mishap Warning-Action Responses, Mishap Investigations reports and much more.
