What is the Public Sector Practice Specialty?The public sector covers hundreds, if not thousands, of topics. It is an ever-expanding arena that interfaces and overlaps more and more with safety, health and environmental (SH&E) professionals. An understanding of public sector regulations is a must for most SH&E professionals, and a strong knowledge of public sector issues will make you a more marketable professional. With such a vast field of knowledge to cover, ASSE created the Public Sector Practice Specialty. ASSE has always recognized the need for public sector professionals in the SH&E arena. The Public Sector Practice Specialty was founded with the goal of developing and disseminating a Body of Knowledge for the SH&E community. This Body of Knowledge also serves those who wish to become SH&E professionals with interests in public sector topics. The members of the Public Sector Practice Specialty provide many resources. A brief overview of our resources is as follows: Perspectives—The Public Sector Practice Specialty publishes a tri-annual newsletter that includes timely articles on issues affecting public sector professionals. The newsletter also includes editorial commentary from the Public Sector Practice Specialty Administrator. Article submission is encouraged. For information, contact the Administrator. Public Sector Practice Specialty Website—This website contains links to many public sector topics. Additional information found on the website includes Professional Development Conference (PDC) information, Body of Knowledge links, committee activities, current projects and volunteer requests. The Public Sector Practice Specialty welcomes your involvement in projects and committees. PDC Events—The Public Sector Practice Specialty sponsors pre- and post-seminars and sessions. Our involvement in providing public sector presentations during general sessions has increased in number and attendance each year, and member involvement during the PDC is encouraged. Members who would like to participate in future PDC events sponsored by the Public Sector Practice Specialty should contact the Administrator. The Public Sector Practice Specialty Advisory Committee —The Advisory Committee is a group of dedicated professionals who give direction to the Public sector Practice Specialty. They meet regularly to discuss goal setting, assign responsibilities and approve actions. Current projects include the ongoing development of a Body of Knowledge, website expansion, newsletter content and outreach to other professional associations and organizations. This is a brief explanation of how the Public Sector Practice Specialty provides value to its membership. There are many ways in which you can benefit by helping us. Your participation in projects, committees and events will not only help us reach our goals, but will provide you with invaluable experience and contacts as you grow with the SH&E profession.
