NSC recognizes leaders of organizations who have a firm
grasp on what it calls the “journey to safety excellence”—the quest to drive
workplace injuries and fatalities to zero—and its four key pillars: committed
leadership and employee engagement; sound safety processes and procedures;
continuous risk reduction; and measuring and improving performance. This year’s honorees are:
- Teri Bristol, chief operating officer, FAA, Air Traffic Organization,Washington, DC;
- Richard Fox, CEO, CDM Smith, Cambridge, MA;
- Anthony Orlando, president and CEO, Covanta Energy Corp., Morristown, NJ;

- Major General Peter Talleri, commanding general, Marine Corps Installations Pacific/Commander, Marine Corps Base Camp Butler;
- Bill Wright, president and CEO, Petrochem Insulation Inc., Vallejo, CA.
"The strong example these leaders have set in living the journey
and protecting their employees is something we hope all business leaders will
follow,” says NSC’s Janet Froetscher.
