*Rescheduled* Health and Safety Sub Council

Health and Safety Sub Council

The Health and Safety Sub Council meeting has been rescheduled and will now take place on March 24, 2026.

Manufacturers face growing demands when it comes to workplace safety, environmental standards, and employee well-being. The Health and Safety Sub-Council brings together professionals who lead these efforts to exchange ideas, share updates, and strengthen best practices across our member companies.

This group offers a collaborative setting to discuss real-world challenges, compliance updates, safety initiatives, and sustainability goals. Members are encouraged to bring forward topics or examples from their own facilities to guide meaningful conversation and learning.

Participation is open to EHS professionals, operations leaders, and anyone responsible for environmental, health, or safety programs within our manufacturing member companies. Space is limited, so early registration is encouraged.

Meeting Topic:

This meeting will feature David Garner from Walden Environmental Engineering, who will be discussing best practices and the importance of addressing near misses.

David brings over 10 years of experience leading environmental, health, and safety initiatives within the manufacturing sector. He previously managed EHS&S operations across three manufacturing sites for an international food and beverage organization, where injury and incident rates declined significantly under his leadership.

He has led safety program implementation, regulatory audits, sustainability initiatives, industrial hygiene efforts, and EHS team oversight. His work has resulted in measurable improvements in workplace safety, compliance, and operational performance.
