This panel focused on safety management as a key to effective project performance. Regardless of the state of the economy, safety must be a business imperative and is a key element in the efficient and effective performance on projects – regardless of size or complexity. Panel presentations and discussions focused on latest trends in leveraging effective health, safety and environmental programs to improve project and operational performance across a diverse set of business sectors. Attendees benefited from both the presentations and opportunity to have an interactive dialogue with senior industry executives representing government and commercial sectors both nationally and internationally.

The session was co-moderated and comprised of both individual presentations on industry trends and a focused panel on a single subject (i.e., Human Performance Improvement) to allow detailed discussions between the panel participants and presenters.

  Panelists included: Tony Umek, Savannah River Nuclear Solutions; Ed Foulke, Partner, Fisher & Phillips LLP; Joe Yanek, EFCOG Chair / Fluor; William Roege, Director-Office of Corporate Safety Analysis, US DOE; Jeffrey Allison, Office of Special Projects, US DOE - SRS; James Hylko, EC Government Services, LLC and Dave Olson, Deputy Project Manager, Savannah River Remediation.
