On episode 225 of EHS On Tap, Scott DeBow, Director of Health/Safety & Environmental at Avetta, talks about how maturity factors into safety culture. This episode is sponsored by Avetta and presented as part of EHS Daily Advisor’s Safety Culture Week.

Scott DeBow,CSP, ARM, serves as Director of Health/Safety & Environmental for Avetta, the leading provider of supply chain risk management software. He’s a highly collaborative, strategic thinker and operator with 19 years of progressive leadership in the realm of risk/occupational safety.  With an “inside-out” perspective as a safety professional in nontraditional employment settings, he sees tremendous opportunity for systems improvements that can work together to reliably create and maintain safer work environments. Working to align people, teams, and industry resources for safety within the joint-employer community, he devotes much of his time to developing safety leadership across organizations with a targeted emphasis on systems improvements to address the most critical type of risk far too easily overlooked: serious injury/fatality, or SIF.

DeBow serves as Director-at-Large for the Executive Board of ASSP and is also an active member of the ANSI Z-10 Committee for Safety Management Systems. He passionately believes that helping people and organizations grow in safety leadership benefits and transforms our society.
