The Center for Safety and Health Sustainability Board of Directors is pleased to announce the election of Kathy A. Seabrook as its new Chair, succeeding Thomas F. Cecich. In her new role Ms. Seabrook sees engaging, influencing and informing a wide array of the Center’s stakeholders as key to the future success of the Center.

According to Ms. Seabrook, “Opportunity abounds for the Center.  Our immediate focus will be on strategically positioning occupational safety and health as well as the Center at the forefront of the sustainability debate. Moving forward, we will proactively engage our stakeholders and leverage areas of common interest to identify opportunities and meet the challenges ahead.”

The Center for Safety and Health Sustainability (CSHS), established in 2011, is a global body of occupational safety and health (OSH) professionals that works with businesses, NGOs and governments worldwide to embed OHS firmly in the sustainability agenda.

Since its incorporation in 2011, CSHS has grown from a strategic objective to a fully functioning nonprofit organization that represents over 100,000 OSH professionals worldwide through North American organizations the American Industrial Hygiene Association, the American Society of Safety Engineers, the Canadian Society of Safety Engineering and the United Kingdom-based Institution of Occupational Safety and Health.

The Center led by Mr. Cecich has already achieved notable successes – from ground-breaking research to the creation of a global Advisory Council, an interactive digital platform and a free electronic news bulletin.

Mr. Cecich notes that “Ms. Seabrook has been a leader within the global OSH community for over two decades. A Chartered Fellow of IOSH and the 2013-2014 ASSE President, she is a recognized international speaker, leadership educator, seminar presenter and published author on global EHS management, OHS management systems and sustainability-safety alignment.”
