Mr. Henshaw's world - Management principles from a savvy pro
When you interview the OSHA chief, you're talking to the man sitting in one of the hottest seats in Washington. You expect to veer from one controversy to the next. That wasn't the case when ISHN interviewed OSHA chief John Henshaw at his Department of Labor office this past October.
Sure, we talked about ergonomics. But really, OSHA isn't making much "hard" news these days. And this OSHA chief presents the opportunity for a different line of questions. He's only the third safety and health professional from industry to become OSHA boss, following John Pendergrass (1986-1989), an industrial hygienist from 3M, and Jerry Scannell (1989-1992), safety and health director for Johnson & Johnson.
