SH&E Generations
We recently asked ASSE members to share their stories of following a parent into the SH&E profession or of having a son or daughter follow them into the safety profession.
Here’s the story of Raymond Heyse and his daughter, Linda Heyse-Highland.
New LinkedIn Group for Safety Standards
ASSE’s new LinkedIn group ANSI/ASSE SH&E Standards Information Center, discusses the technical and professional issues related to ASSE’s ANSI accredited standards development committees.
In addition, nearly 5,000 members have already joined the Society’s other practice specialty, common interest group (CIG) or branch groups on LinkedIn. Get involved and participate in discussions, search jobs, contribute articles, find resources and network with other SH&E professionals. Search for the practice specialties, branches and CIGs under LinkedIn’s Groups tab.

ASSE Awards Standards Medal to Grund
The Thomas F. Bresnahan Safety, Health and Environment Standards Medal is presented each year to an ASSE member who is active in the development of voluntary national consensus standards. This year’s recipient is Edward V. Grund Jr., P.E., CSP, president of Grund Consulting Inc. in Parrish, FL, and a professional member of the Florida Suncoast Chapter.
Grund was an original member of the 1973 standard start-up committee for ANSI Z244.1, Control of Hazardous Energy Lockout/Tagout and Alternative Methods. As a member of the core writing team, he drafted the initial language of several sections of the standard and helped to develop the first Standard for Personal Protection—Lockout/Tagout of Energy Sources in 1982 and the reaffirmations in 1987 and 1993. In 1996, Grund was elected committee chair, and was instrumental in moving the secretariat from NSC to ASSE during 2003.
Grund served on the standards committee for ANSI Z117.1, Safety Requirements for Confined Spaces, during the effort to revise the 1977 standard that had been withdrawn in early 1988. In 1993, he was elected chair and led the development of the 1995 and 2003 standards. He has served as ASSE’s committee representative since 1993, and helped ASSE interaction with OSHA during the rulemaking for the promulgation of the agency’s confined spaces standard.
Grund has served as a member of the F23.80 flame and thermal subcommittee of ASTM F-23, Personal Protective Clothing and Equipment, and a member of the E-50-05 subcommittee of ASTM E-50, Evironmental Assessment, Risk.
The Standards Medal is named in honor of Thomas F. Bresnahan, an ASSE Fellow and retired staff member who reinvigorated the ASSE standards development program.
The award will be presented at the Council on Practices & Standards awards luncheon at Safety 2010.
