Choices In Safety – What Does It Take?
Attendees will gain an understanding of the significance of making the right choices whether on or off the job. They will discover first-hand what can happen when safety rules are ignored as well as the tremendous costs of such actions.
Harlan Olson is a Certified Safety Professional who has been in the safety profession for over 31 years. Prior to coming to WSI 25 years ago, he spent over 6 years as a safety coordinator for a large organization in western North Dakota. When speaking to groups of people, he will sometimes pull experiences from his early years in the construction industry. It is one of these experiences that ended his construction career and started his journey in the safety & health field.
