What a great opportunity to learn, connect, and bring new ideas back to the agricultural safety community! 🌾

Angelina and Natalie represented AgSafe at Congress, connecting with safety professionals and hearing from leaders across the industry.

Day two featured keynote speaker David Keeling, OSHA Assistant Secretary, who highlighted three priorities for OSHA moving forward:

• Modernizing standards and oversight with technology and data

• Strengthening collaboration among safety professionals, employers, and unions

• Using a more proactive, predictive approach to help prevent workplace injuries and fatalities

We’re always glad to have opportunities like this to learn from others, share ideas, and continue growing the conversation around workplace safety.
