ASSE member appointed to OSHA’s construction safety committee
R. Ronald Sokol, a 29-year member of the American Society of Safety Engineers, has been appointed to the OSHA Advisory Committee on Construction Safety and Health (ACCSH), which is charged with advising the agency on setting construction standards and policy matters affecting federally financed or assisted construction.
Sokol, CSP, has served as president and CEO of Texas-based Safety Council of Texas City (SCTC) since 1990, a nonprofit corporation which specializes in training contractors who work in the petrochemical industry on safety, health, environmental and security issues. SCTC’s success sparked other safety organizations to form, creating a network that has trained approximately 300,000 per year. He previously served on the NIOSH National Occupational Research Agenda (NORA) as a member of the Construction Sector.
