WHAT IS THE SAFETY SMART PROGRAM?

Disney Wild About Safety/UL Safety Smart is a lesson-based, multi-lingual global educational program developed by Underwriters Laboratories (UL) in collaboration with Walt Disney Parks and Resorts. The program aims to improve children’s awareness and understanding of safety, health, and environmental issues, and ultimately to impact their behavior. Safety Smart utilizes a tested and proven educational methodology that enhances children’s behavioral intent to make "safety smart" decisions, thereby helping them manage themselves and their surroundings as safely as possible – by conscious action, not chance. Through its efforts, the Safety Smart program cultivates safety awareness, provides opportunities for children to learn and to practice safe behaviors, and helps children make more informed safety choices today and in the future.
