Safety Professional of the Year
Stephen R. Smith, CSP ASSE GDC 2012 Safety Professional of the Year
Stephen R. Smith is our 2012 Safety Professional of the Year. While Steve was Programs chair for our chapter in 1997, there was a situation in which an elected Officer was removed from the Executive Committee. Steve Smith jumped in and helped out, offering to help because he had been an officer in another chapter. Steve stayed involved until he became President in 2002.
Steve has been an active member of the Industry Advisory Board of the Occupational Safety and Health program at Oakland University. He contributes to each meeting, not only with ideas, but with resources to help things get done. For example, OU is building a Human Health Building where the OSH program will have state of the art labs. Steve was instrumental in gaining OU access to a first class fire safety lab for his employer, Chubb. OU is building their fires safety lab in the likeness of the Chubb lab. Steve connected the resources at Chubb with the right person at OU to ensure this.
Steve currently serves as President of the Michigan Safety Conference, which will be held in April 2012. It's terrific that Steve continues to give back to his profession, both within ASSE and elsewhere. Congratulations, Steve!
