Elevating Safety Beyond Compliance to Prevent Workplace Injuries and Fatalities
About this episode
Linda Tapp and Wyatt Bradbury discuss the role of Standards-Based User Groups in enhancing workplace safety and reducing risks.
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.
