"Safety in Action is the premier conference for safety leaders throughout the world. We are thrilled to introduce our attendees to more behavioral safety content via BSN because that's foundational to any credible safety program," he said. "Our sessions in 2020 will inspire everyone who attends to think about safety in a whole new way."

BSN is a function of the Cambridge Center for Behavioral Studies, a non-profit organization that promotes the application of behavioral technology to the solution of societal problems. McSween said he is "excited about expanding this concept to Safety In Action."

"Our goal will be to continue to bring together practitioners who share a background in the science of behavior analysis, now on a larger scale. We are excited that we are working with DEKRA OSR to help make Safety In Action a true professional conference for practitioners and end users alike," he said.
