From low-impact baby foods to helmet vending machines, this top list of SocialBusiness.org safety-focused social businesses plays it safe anytime and all the time. Some people might think that playing it safe is the boring route but if you're into innovation, you'll think twice after browsing through this collection.
Take AvaTech, for instance, it's an business fostering preemptive and proactive systems that will help to prevent the human mortality rate of avalanches. Or take BrightKidz, a social enterprise that offers high visibility clothing for children. What is more, they make the process collaborative and have various accessories available. And it's less likely that your child won't say "no way!" if they have a hand in the process. These safety-focused social businesses also include solar lamps, reflective slap bands and consultancies.
