PARK RIDGE, Ill. — The American Society of Safety Professionals (ASSP), the world’s oldest professional safety organization, has bestowed the honor of Fellow on four long-time members who have made significant contributions to the occupational safety and health profession, including Richard Nugent of Covington.
“ASSP Fellows are the heart of our profession and deserve significant credit for their dedicated work to advance occupational safety and health performance as well as the profession itself,” said ASSP President Rixio Medina, CSP, CPP. “Their career achievements in preventing workplace injuries, illnesses and fatalities are an inspiration, helping to improve business outcomes worldwide.”
Other recipients include Earl Blair, Ed.D., CSP, of Lexington, Ky.; James Ramsay, Ph.D., M.A., CSP, of Bow, N.H.; and Treasa Turnbeaugh, Ph.D., M.P.H., M.B.A., CSP, CAE, of Indianapolis, Ind.
Nugent, CSP, now working in Tullahoma, Tenn., is safety, health and environmental manager for Bechtel Corporation, currently assigned to National Aerospace Solutions. 
His 41-year career includes various leadership positions in high-risk industries. 
An ASSP member since 1982, Nugent has served as vice president of finance on the society’s Board of Directors. He has worked domestically and abroad in implementing safety cultures.
Nugent completed a master’s thesis that studied the effects of safety program element implementation on safety performance, tracking injury rate progression. His findings have assisted many workplace safety professionals.
The four Fellows will be honored at ASSP’s Safety 2019 Professional Development Conference and Exposition, held June 9-12 in New Orleans. The global event will bring together more than 5,000 safety professionals to learn about best practices, industry trends and the latest product innovations in the occupational safety and health field.
The honor of Fellow recognizes an ASSP member’s lifetime commitment to worker safety and health. Nominees must have a history of significant contributions to the occupational safety and health profession for at least 20 years.
