ROB VAN WALLEGHEM

摘要

Rob Van Walleghem takes the safety of workers at his company very seriously. Whenever he visits a Tervita Corp. work site, he asks himself, "Would I be comfortable allowing one of my four boys to work here?" Van Walleghem is Tervita's executive vice-president of HSE and general counsel and his department is responsible for overseeing what he describes as the company's "Number 1 priority -safety." Van Walleghem is also a member of the board for the Job Safety Skills Society, a not-for-profit which exists to "address the unacceptable number of workplace injuries and fatalities among young workers to ensure that young workers are properly trained for safety before they enter the workforce." As a result of the society's work, more than 650 high schools use its materials (which are available free of charge) to teach more than 115,000 students about occupational health and safety.
