Secretary Ramsey says his number one responsibility is the safety and health of every employee that goes to work everyday and he won’t be satisfied until every person that goes into work returns home uninjured and in one piece as they were before going to work.He adds he is really enjoying the change in the attitude of businesses regarding the health and safety for their employees.

Plus, Secretary Ramsey notes it’s an added bonus for businesses, although very small, but it helps them with their worker’s compensation insurance. With that benefit and the fact that employees are not missing hours and days of work is a win-win situation for both sides.The Safety and Health Conference will be May 8-11 at the Sloan Convention Center in Bowling Green.
