Video: The Path Forward for Safety Leaders

Feb. 11, 2021

2020 was a volatile, uncertain, complex and ambiguous (VUCA) year, says Dr. Jay Harf, vice president of EHS&S with global cosmetics manufacturer L’Oréal at the 2020 Safety Leadership Conference. COVID-19 changed everything--except for safety professionals' commitment to keeping workers safe. 

“It’s because of you—the safety professionals—that we’ve been able to succeed with what’s happening in the VUCA world,” Harf told the SLC attendees. “We’ve done a lot of things to protect ourselves and our employees in our own personal COVID experiences, but now we’re being asked: can we do more?”

In Harf's virtual keynote, exclusive to users of our new EHS Intelligence members-only offering, he shares how he implemented 222 criteria with 33 directives on how to protect more than 8,000 employees from COVID-19. Click here now to register and gain access to this presentation and more.
