Do you feel like you’re constantly being challenged to do more with less? Ever get the feeling that you’re the only one at your company focusing on workplace safety? Guess what: You’re not alone. For all the talk about safety being Job One, many organizations don’t necessarily practice what they preach. It’s an ongoing challenge to keep workers safe and healthy, and workplaces free from hazards, and that responsibility requires the best efforts of dedicated safety professionals.

This webinar shares insights gained from EHS Today’s annual National Safety and Salary Survey, which takes the pulse of safety professionals to identify what their jobs involve, what their biggest challenges are, and what they’d like to see happen in the workplace and the EHS community to make it easier to keep people safe. And as we do every year, EHS Today’s editorial staff will also reveal the current salary levels for a typical safety leader, including where the highest-paid leaders live, what types of companies tend to pay the most, and the value of continuing education.

You’ll also hear about other topics of vital interest to safety leaders, such as:

  • What technologies are you using to improve safety?
  • Do you feel senior management is supportive of EHS at your organization?
  • Has your EHS budget increased or decreased over the last year?
  • How effective do you think federal / state OSHA is in its mission?
  • What are the most common types of injuries at your facility?
  • Do you use leading indicators to measure safety performance, and if so which ones?
  • How satisfied are you with your job and the EHS profession?


The webinar will be hosted and presented by the editorial staff of EHS Today.
