Safety 2018 conference from American Society of Safety Engineers
One of this year’s highlight: employers are struggling to get ahead of the active shooter problem, and a panel discussion will help safety professionals get prepared. Experts from the Department of Homeland Security, law enforcement, corporate risk management and employee assistance programs will address the topic in a general session titled, “The Before and After Summit: A Safety Professional’s Guide to Prepare For, React to, and Address Workplace Violence Events.”
This year’s conference also promises to make history. More than 100 years in the making, the society’s new name and brand will debut at Safety 2018 with ASSE becoming the American Society of Safety Professionals. Also, the society’s leadership will shift gears as new ASSP President Rixio Medina takes the reins of the world’s oldest professional safety organization in 2018-19.
