It’s safe to say this wasn’t the year any expected. COVID-19 quickly emerged as the dominant story of 2020, disrupting many short- and long-term plans.
Safety moved to the forefront of conversations and planning. Everyone scrambled to adapt, accommodate and innovate during a changing environment filled with hand sanitizer, face masks and plexiglass. And while securing personal protective equipment and other supplies were integral to continuing operations in a safe manner, all other safety concerns didn’t disappear.
OSHA still enforced policies, and you still had to reduce incident rates and prevent hazardous or otherwise unsafe working conditions. It’s been a year and two jobs for many of you.
