Itasca, IL – The National
Safety Council has announced the 2013 CEOs Who “Get It,” its annual
recognition of business leaders who demonstrate world-class safety. Each of
these leaders understands that safety is not only the right thing to do, but that
creating a culture of safety also is a business imperative.
The Council believes that all
organizations are on the Journey to Safety Excellence – a constant quest to
drive workplace injuries and deaths to zero. This year’s 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.”
This year’s roster of eight
individuals represents national and multinational organizations of all sizes
from a wide variety of industries. Profiles of the CEOs Who “Get It” are
