Ashley Alewelt, CSP, Caterpillar, gave a presentation Monday morning at the 2015 AIHce urging EHS professionals to go beyond developing technical competencies. According to Alewelt, pros often go to technical trainings and read scientific books, but forget to build their leadership strengths.
Said Alewelt: “If they don’t have a seat at their company’s leadership table, they have a difficult time getting initiatives across. If initiatives aren’t implemented, then EHS professionals may not be effective at protecting employees.
