How It Works SIMPLY PUT, OUR SAFETY PROFESSIONAL BECOMES YOUR ORGANIZATION’S SAFETY DIRECTOR AND IS AVAILABLE WHEN YOU NEED THEM. For a specified number of hours each month, our Safety Professional will provide a spectrum of safety management services to meet your organization’s program needs and goals. Our Safety Professional will work closely with a point-of-contact to discuss program needs, schedule job site inspections, and handle training requests. The safe assist program is designed for smaller organizations and those with multiple locations that may have the necessity for a Safety Professional but are not large enough to hire one full-time or have the need for multiple Safety Professionals in various locations. As a nationwide consulting firm, CORE can provide a Safety Professional near your site or facility to perform program development, auditing, and training to meet your organization’s needs and significantly reduce the overhead of having a full-time safety professional.

Lee Shelby | Motivational Speaker Lee Shelby is a bi-lateral below elbow amputee. Lee lost both hands just above the wrist in an electrical accident that occurred on August 12, 1991, while working for Memphis Light, Gas & Water. Lee currently wears body powered prosthetics which now take the place of both hands. Lee is a husband, a father of three children, and a grandfather. Lee’s story about his accident on that dreadful day, the lack of personal safety that resulted in the accident, the struggles that he has had to overcome, and his willingness to fight the challenges of his disability make his presentation inspirational to any workforce.
“As a safety professional, I know that you can have all the safety procedures in place and still have accidents. Employees need to understand WHY they are important. Seeing their response to Lee’s presentation showed me that ‘making it personal’ with personal stories like his will have an impact. I will strive to do more to make it personal.” Safety Engineer BP Oil
