It was amazing and inspiring to see so many industries represented and the enormous variety of workplace safety training topics covered.
Safety professionals and companies as well as exhibitors from the U.S. and abroad were present to give and receive solutions to some of the most critical challenges facing employers and employees alike..
I grabbed a short interview with NSC President & CEO Debbie Hersman. She brought a special message to convention-goers. Hersman says the majority of unintentional deaths occur at home, not work. She stressed the rising concern about employee fatigue and how employers can play a greater role in maintaining a well-rested workforce.
A portion of her interview is included in this short video. It shows some highlights from the NSC Congress and Expo in Atlanta, which draws approximately 14,000 safety professional for training, networking and product reviews.
