RIMScast


Jul 9, 2019

Welcome to RIMScast. Your host is Justin Smulison, Business Content Manager at RIMS, the Risk and Insurance Management Society.

 

This week, Justin is joined by Lorraine M. Martin, the new President and CEO of the National Safety Council! Lorraine brings over 30 years of experience in both civic and corporate leadership to advance the Council’s mission of eliminating preventable deaths at home, on the road, and in the workplace. She was also an officer in the U.S. Air Force and has an incredibly unique perspective to bring to the space of risk management!

 

In this episode, Lorraine explains her role at NSC, what originally brought her there, what she learned about risk management systems from her previous role in the Air Force, and the current safety risks and hazards that are at the top of the risk register among companies and organizations as the new President of NSC. Lorraine also highlights many of NSC’s initiatives and campaigns, resources they offer both publically and through subscription, safety trends she has taken note of, and the qualities that industries and companies share that have implemented effective safety risk management systems.
