Serious about safety: Employers on top of continuing education
100 committed companies
Companies that value safety articulate their philosophies in policy statements that increasingly encompass sustainability and environmental stewardship as part of their EHS package.
ISHN’s “Top 100” list of companies with the most subscribers to the magazine represents diverse technologies, products and services, from energy to aerospace, food and plastics to paint and paper, transportation to the government sector. Many of their safety statements reference regulatory compliance as a part — but not the entirety — of their programs. Some, like DuPont, cite specific goals: “zero injuries and zero incidents.” Others use the opportunity to take pride in their achievements, such as Georgia Pacific’s having been named safest industry for seven years in a row. Workplace health and safety is not a static field. Its continuous evolution necessitates continuous education. Companies truly committed to safety make the effort to stay on top of the news, research, trends, products and best practises and use emerging information to shape, adjust and fine-tune their corporate safety programs.
