After all, safety and health programs can benefit the overall health and productivity of a business or an
organization and improve the wellbeing and quality of life for employees.
If you attended one of the event’s 150 educational sessions you may process
your class cards through June 30.
If you didn’t get a chance to attend the event, course
materials are available for selected sessions online.
Each day of the Ohio Safety Congress featured a general session with keynote speakers.
Tuesday, BWC’s administrator Marsha Ryan shared the future of workers’ compensation in
Ohio while Dr. DeLon Hull, associate director for research and
technology transfer for NIOSH discussed NIOSH’s role in a healthier tomorrow.
Nationally recognized behavior-based safety expert Dr. Scott Geller captivated the
audience with his perspective on people-based safety which has been found to significantly reduce industrial injuries.
The closing day began with Ohio native Bert Calland, a former vice admiral and CIA
deputy director. He shared his life experiences as a Navy SEAL and the detailed training, considered the toughest in the world, to keep these brave
servants safe.
