Follow on Google News | Phil La Duke Declines Invitation to Speak At At Loss Prevention 2010The internationally renowned speaker sites scheduling conflicts as the reason for declining to present his paper, Creating Safety Cultures in Off-Shore Operations at the prestigious international conference.
By: Phil La Duke "I offered to have a colleague, Peiter-Jan Botts from Norway, present my paper in my place, but that was unacceptable to the organizers of the conference. I'm obviously disappointed but I certainly understand their position and wish them much success in their conference."

Safety begins with compliance 3. Prevention is more valuable than correction 4. Safety is everyone’s job 5. Safety is a strategic business element, and 6. Safety is owned by operations “SafetyIMPACT!
