Dr. John Howard, director of NIOSH, gave an audience of several hundred at the National Safety Congress what was for him a different type of presentation.
Over the years, Dr. Howard has been hailed as something as an occupational health and safety visionary. He has been especially devoted to corporate health promotion activities for employees, and psycho-social issues that get little play in the U.S. political circles – things like job stress, work-life balance, a holistic 24/7 approach to worker health and safety, and how work is organized to put less stress on employees.
