Fisher & Phillips LLP attorneys Howard Mavity and Ed Foulke call the conference the "World Series of Safety."

Noted safety attorneys Ed Foulke and Howard Mavity speak with EHS Today Editor in Chief Sandy Smith about their takeaways on everything from safety culture and best practices to onboarding a new generation of workers to a safety-related orientation.

They talk about taking safety disciplines outside of manufacturing and into other industries like retail, hospitality and health care.

Mavity and Foulke hope more companies see safety as a way to improve the bottom line.
