ASSP protects people, property and the environment. Our goal through this presentation is simple: Show attendees that every person deserves to lead a safe, healthy and fulfilling life — and work should support that by ensuring they return home well each day. As workplace safety advocates, we believe safety, health and well-being are fundamental rights — not privileges. Through collaboration with members, regulators, like-minded organizations and businesses, we strive to turn this vision into reality.
The session will focus on the issues below and address "Occupational Safety and Health in the USA - Why You Should Care"
Primary topics addressing safety and health in the United States will include below:
1. Workforce Challenges: The Shifting Labor Market. This theme explores workforce instability and retention; the development of company leaders; and mental health and psychological safety.
2. Aligning Safety With Business Strategy. This theme examines leadership commitment and decision-making; risk management and connecting safety to the bottom line; and going beyond legal compliance.
3. Safety Leadership and Culture. This theme involves moving from compliance to influence; using safety as a competitive advantage; and strengthening employee engagement.
We will also direct session attendees to where they can obtain the applicable reports, and what we believe is cutting edge EHS information:
We will also discuss the impact of our ANSI/ASSP consensus standards and why they serve as the anchor of moving EHS performance in the United States. We will give A+A attendees and exhibitors an understanding of how national volunary consensus standards impact occupational safety and health [OSH], implementation of such standards in the USA.
