Jason,
CONGRATULATIONS on obtaining your new safety professional role and thank you for your service to our country!
As a fellow aviator and instructor I encourage you to focus on the ergonomic, situational, and behavioral aspects affecting safety. Much of this begins with establishing and reinforcing a safety culture within an organization.
Best of continued success in your new role and studies. I hope you’ll pursue your graduate degree in OS&H, too, as there’s no doubt in my mind you have much to contribute to other students and the profession.
Cheer and all the very best,
Steve Sappington, MSc, Occupational Safety & Health
