The American Society of Safety Professionals (ASSP), the world’s oldest professional safety organization, has launched a biweekly Safety Standards and Tech Pubs Podcast to help occupational safety and health professionals stay informed of industry consensus standards and technical publications. The podcast debuted in October and has already covered helpful safety topics through six episodes.
The inaugural podcast featured ASSP’s Tim Fisher, director of standards and technical services, discussing the importance of industry consensus standards. He provided an overview of how and why governments, companies and consumer groups come together to create voluntary safety standards.
