PHILADELPHIA (CBS) – More than 10,000 environmental, health, and safety professionals are in Philadelphia this week for group discussions and networking during a convention in center city.

The nonprofit National Safety Council, which works to prevent injuries and deaths at work, in homes, and on the road, is hosting the world’s largest gathering of safety and health professionals.

In between keynote speakers there were what the NSC describes as “executive edge” track forums and workshops for safety-minded professionals. In one of them, Wil Harkins, the deputy chief of safety mission assurance for NASA, described NASA’s journey of cultural transformation after the space shuttle Columbia disaster.
