Why It Matters
Engineers are a critical component to facilitating safety in the workplace. We enable our strong network of engineers to collaborate so they can have a real impact on the OSH industry and workplace safety. For example, our members have made significant contributions to protect those who work at heights and to prevent slips, trips and falls in the workplace — even helping to develop formal standards like the Z359 Fall Protection Code and ANSI/ASSP A1264.1-2017, Safety Requirements for Workplace Walking/Working Surfaces and Their Access.
Mentorship Program
Our one-to-one mentorship program pairs experienced occupational health and safety professionals and engineers and those professionals who are newer to the safety field so each party can gain relevant knowledge and skills. To qualify, mentor and mentee applicants must be members in good standing of ASSP, as well as the Engineering Practice Specialty.

In recognition of National Engineers Week, which was observed Feb. 19-25, 2023, the Engineering Practice Specialty highlighted several engineers who made an impact on safety.
Leadership Opportunities
Go beyond belonging to the Engineering Practice Specialty group and volunteer for a position on our Advisory Committee. Or, consider running to be elected as assistant administrator, which, after two years, leads to the office of administrator. As a volunteer leader, you can lend your time and expertise to our many initiatives, while developing transferable leadership and team-building skills. Leadership positions within ASSP help members reach their highest level of performance, both on the job and in the Society.
