The NSC believes that all organizations are on the journey to safety excellence, a constant quest to drive workplace injuries and deaths to zero. The honorees have a firm grasp of the journey and its four key pillars, which include committed leadership and employee engagement, sound safety processes and procedures, continuous risk reduction and measuring and improving performance.
"It is an honor for the council to recognize this year's distinguished group of CEOs Who 'Get It'," said Janet Froetscher, National Safety Council president and CEO. "The strong example these leaders have set in living the journey and protecting their employees is something we hope all business leaders will follow."
