2026 Southwest Safety Conference Speakers

Megan Hammes, MS, MCHES - Under the Hard Hat: Safety Through Mental Health Awareness

Megan draws on more than two decades in employee health to show how mental health awareness strengthens safety outcomes. Her session focuses on early recognition, evidence-based response, and practical training tools leaders use to reduce risk before incidents occur.

Gary and Jeanne Norland - Life After 12,500 Volts


Gary and his wife, Jeanne, share the lasting impact of a preventable workplace accident. Their story moves beyond statistics to show how one unsafe moment affects families, coworkers, and entire communities, reinforcing safety as a personal responsibility.

Tim and Ciro Page-Bottorff - From Boomers to Zoomers: Ending the Generational Cold War in Safety

With more than 30 years in occupational health and safety, Tim challenges generational stereotypes and shows how those assumptions create unnecessary friction on the job. Presented alongside his son, Ciro, the session focuses on building a shared “third space” where teams move beyond labels to work more effectively.

Eric J. Rodriguez - Leading Safety in the Human Era


A former engineer and operations leader, Eric explores why effective safety leadership depends on trust, connection, and daily practice. His keynote reframes safety as a shared value that helps organizations adapt, innovate, and protect people at the same time.
