Edwin G. Foulke Jr., a partner with Fisher and Phillips LLP, delivered a rousing presentation at Best of Success. While the subject matter of safety on the roof is quite serious, Foulke delivered his message with humor. “I want you to take at least one fact with you today: never take a sleeping pill and laxative at the same time!”
Foulke, the former head of OSHA under President George W. Bush, didn’t have to remind audience members of a sobering reality: people in roofing can get killed on the job. “If you want to be successful, you have to be committed to safety,” he said. “And, above all, your safety plan has to be easy for employees to follow.”
