(April 20, 2011) Rockford Greene International’s Phil La Duke makes major announcements at his Michigan Safety Conference speech. At the beginning of his speech, at 9:00 a.m. at the Lansing, Michigan event, La Duke made three announcements.  First, La Duke announced the overhaul of Rockford Greene’s website, which he categorized only as “a long time coming.” Next, La Duke announced the republication of two of his most popular articles, in quarterly newsletters, of the American Society of Safety Engineers (ASSE), and finally, La Duke announced that he will again speak at the National Safety Council’s annual conference and expo this October in Philadelphia, PA.

In a brief statement released simultaneously with La Duke’s speech,  Rockford Greene International spokesperson, Adrian Greene, confirmed La Duke’s announcements and added that “Everyone at Rockford Greene is excited at by Phil’s success and the surge in popularity of his work, particularly the growth in his popularity in Europe and Australia.  Phil is a key resource, who along with the rest of the Rockford Greene team, has helped numerous companies improve the safety, quality, cost, delivery, morale and environmental elements of their operations.”

Rockford Greene International is a business optimization service provider based in Monroe, MI.  La Duke joined Rockford Greene in 2010 after a nine year tenure at O/E Learning where he played a pivotal role in the development of ground breaking safety culture improvement interventions for Williams International, UAW-Chrysler, Daimler Truck North America, and Henry Ford Healthcare System.

This year La Duke will present, "A Culture of Myths" a presentation based on a popular article La Duke penned for Fabricating and Metalworking magazine.  "'A Culture of Myths' is one of my most popular articles," reflects La Duke, "it grew out of my growing disenchantment with safety professionals who kind of talk out of both sides of their mouths.  These are people who call for the heads of workers who violate rules but then speed on their way to work.  It just occurred to me that one day that a lot of what we are telling people about safety just isn't true.  The workers know it and we lose all credibility; it's an important topic and I thought it needed to be addressed," continues La Duke.

La Duke is a highly sought after speaker whose written work has been published in numerous international publications. The article can be read at: http://www.fabricatingandmetalworking.com/2010/10/a-cultu...

In addition to his articles, La Duke is author of a popular blog www.philladuke.wordpress.com and a contributing editor of Rockford Greene International’s blog www.rockfordgreeneinternational,com
