How can an engineering perspective impact safety? with Matthew Herron

Matthew Herron, MS, PE, CSP, CPE joins us for a conversation on engineering and safety. Matt is currently the Lead Safety Engineer at Southwest Research Institute, a BCSP Ambassador, and the ASSP Region III Vice President.

We discuss how an engineering mindset emphasizes prevention through design. Matt also gives advice on how to communicate with all levels of an organization and how to find mentorship for new safety professionals.

February 18-24, 2024 is Engineers Week, with this year's theme being, "Welcome to the Future" - we think this episode is a perfect introduction to kick off Engineers Week and to encourage others to consider STEM fields!
