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.
New ASSE Officer
Training Modules
Nine training modules are available online for both chapter and student section officers. Three new modules include training for faculty advisors, student section officers and chapter program chairs. Questions about ASSE’s online training modules may be directed to Chapter Services.

SH&E Generations: The Heyse Family
Raymond Heyse and his
daughter Linda Heyse-Highland
My dad, Raymond Heyse, plant safety manager at the now closed Hawthorne Works, began his safety career in the 1960s. Famous for the Hawthorne Effect, the Western Electric cable plant closed in 1983. With a safety legacy, it was an easy fit for me to be interested in people’s safety. Safety is an area where you find real passion. It was this shared passion—to keep people safe—that also brought me into safety.
As I recall, one of the biggest challenges my dad had as a safety director was to convince employees that he and the company genuinely cared for them. That trust still seems like an important ingredient to safety communication and participation today.
After my dad retired, he taught at the local community college. He also taught for the National Safety Council and had his own consulting business. If safety is in your blood, it’s hard to stop—isn’t it?
After I graduated from college, I began working with clients to promote safety to their employees. Now, 20 some years later, my company, LinJen Promotions, has worked with leading companies to improve safe work behaviors. We help to strengthen and encourage safe behaviors in workers.
How great it is to be able to continue my dad’s work that started so long ago. The passion lives on!
SH&E Generations
Many SH&E professionals have parents or children who are also in the profession. Did your son or daughter follow in your footsteps? Did a parent’s involvement in the safety profession encourage you to follow in their footsteps? ASSE would like to hear from you.
