Safety and health CEOs discuss role of profession in pandemic recovery
The CEOs of the nation’s three leading safety organizations teamed up for an insightful discussion about how the occupational safety and health profession is evolving and expanding its presence as industries recover from COVID-19. The free webinar, “COVID-19: A Safety and Health CEO Perspective,” features Jennifer McNelly of the American Society of Safety Professionals (ASSP), Lorraine Martin of the National Safety Council (NSC) and Larry Sloan of the American Industrial Hygiene Association (AIHA).
The leaders talked about collaboration between the three organizations and how their partnership is elevating the profession during this unprecedented time. “The world has shifted, and as safety organizations it’s critical that we lead forward,” McNelly said. “Recovery needs a good framework, a good architecture, but the actions required are unique to each company and community, which increases the need for collaboration.”
