ADSC Safety Director, Rick Marshall – Safety Leadership:  When people think of workplace safety, the first things that often come to mind are OSHA standards, checklists, audits, and compliance measures. While these tools are essential, the human element of safety leadership is often overlooked and it’s the most critical piece of all. Safety leadership plays a pivotal role in fostering culture of safety, setting the tone for how employees view and prioritize safety for themselves, each other, and the company.
