Regina McMichael
CSP, CIT
FL, USAt 20 years old, Regina McMichael got the call that her husband had died falling off a roof at a jobsite he was working. That was the day her safety career started.
At an age when most people are just starting to think about what it means to be an adult, Regina went from planning a funeral, to investigating her late husband's accident, to transforming her workers' compensation benefit into a university degree in safety, to participating in the writing of the OSHA fall protection guidelines that could have prevented her husband's death.
Today, she's a world-renowned safety speaker and trainer whose energy, humor, and engaging style draws rave reviews from clients like General Motors, the National Safety Council, and the American Society of Safety Engineers, among countless others.
Why does Regina get such high ratings from everyone who hears her speak? Because for her, safety is not an abstraction. It's personal.
That's why she's able to transform safety from a dry, boring compliance issue, to a living, breathing, vitally important human issue. These days, conference attendees are looking for more than just entertainment. They're looking for someone who can motivate them and give them a sense of direction. Regina delivers on all three counts. Conference after conference, people who hear Regina speak report walking away invigorated, full of new skills they can use right away.
Regina delivered her first safety training just weeks after graduating from university and she hasn't stopped since. She is equally effective in front of a crowd of thousands as she is at mentoring people one on one. Her trainings and keynote speeches drive home the point that when we create a vibrant safety culture, we are creating a happier, healthier, and more profitable organization.
