Many ASSE members have parents or children who are also in the SH&E profession. Do you have a son or daughter who followed in your footsteps? Did a parent’s involvement in the profession encourage you to become a safety professional? If so, ASSE would like to hear your story. Tell us your SH&E Generations story.
