ISHM Thanks Safety Managers and Wishes Them a Happy Thanksgiving

YUMA, Ariz. - Nov. 25, 2013 - PRLog -- Later this week, people will be gathering with family and friends for the Thanksgiving tradition of a bountiful meal and to reflect on all they have to be thankful for in their lives.  During this special time of year that kicks off the annual holiday season, the Institute for Safety and Health Management would like to thank all of the health and safety managers who work tirelessly everyday to keep workers and communities safe and healthy.

In today’s society, safety management is a core function of a successful business or institution.  When an organization implements effective safety and health management policies, it sets a clear direction and demonstrates a commitment to employees, the public, the environment and shows a dedication to continuous improvement.  Safety and health management professionals reduce potential financial loses and liabilities due to accidents, fatalities and product failures, while improving the work environment for all.

“ISHM would like to take this opportunity to thank all of the CSHMs, ASHMs, CSMPs and allied health and safety professionals for their dedication and professionalism,” reported Larry Curtis, CSHM, Executive Director of ISHM.  “Many people are not always aware of the achievements and contributions of those in the health and safety management profession.  It is through the hard work of these dedicated professionals that many accidents and health hazards are averted that keep all of us safe.  Thank you and Happy Thanksgiving from all of us at the ISHM.”

The Institute for Safety and Health Management, through its accredited Certified Safety and Health Manager (CSHM) certification and Associate Safety Health Manager (ASHM) and Certified Safety Management Practitioner (CSMP) programs, promotes the advancement of safety and health management through the application of management principles and the integration of safety into all levels and activities of management.
