ASSP and its members take safety seriously, advancing and exercising workplace safety best practices every day.

Still, our members often spot unsafe practices in the workplace and capture them on camera. By sharing these not-so-safe moments in Professional Safety's lighthearted “By the Way” section, we hope they serve as a reminder of the importance of working safely.
