“Great progress has been made in addressing safety<br />
hazards over the past 100 years through better designs,<br />
better working conditions and better accountability when it<br />
comes to protecting our most important assets – our people<br />
and our planet.<br />
We look forward to working with you in the next century of<br />
safety as we continue to learn from each other, celebrate<br />
our successes and accept nothing short of zero when<br />
it comes to preventable fatalities and injuries in the<br />
workplace, on the roads and in homes and communities.”<br />
