Additionally, ASSE’s Executive Program has added new content delving deeper into such topics as Contemporary Safety Management Methods, Influential Leadership Strategies and Successful Implementation of New Safety Management Concepts in Your Organization, and Learning Objectives.

“Safety management has evolved with many new concepts influencing the way safety is being delivered,” Goldman said. “Recognizing the great strides in safety management, ASSE wanted to include these topics within the program.”
