Developing a Framework for Ethical Decision Making in EHS

Mark Katchen, managing principal of The Phylmar Group and co-author of “Ethical Decision-making in Occupational and Environmental Health and Safety: A Comparative Case Study Approach,” discusses common ethical dilemmas EHS professionals may encounter, and how to address them in a way that best supports worker safety and health.

Elevating Safety Beyond Compliance to Prevent Workplace Injuries and Fatalities

ASSP President Linda Tapp and Wyatt Bradbury, principal of Health and Safety at Avetta, share how our Standards-Based User Groups (SBUGs) will help EHS professionals put consensus standards into action and improve safety.

They discuss how the SBUGs will bring together industry stakeholders to share knowledge, develop best practices and offer insights into how to implement voluntary consensus standards in real-world environments. 

The SBUGs will initially focus on reducing the risks of falls from height, protecting workers from hazardous energy and using artificial intelligence (AI) to anticipate and reduce risks.
