Rony Jabour Delivers Powerful Address at NSC Safety Congress & Expo in Denver, Highlighting Hispanic Worker Safety
Rony Jabour addresses EHS professionals at the NSC Safety Congress & Expo in Denver, the world’s largest safety event.
Rony Jabour speaks at the NSC Safety Congress & Expo 2025 in Denver, sharing strategies to enhance workplace safety for Hispanic workers.
In his session, “Building Bridges: Enhancing Workplace Safety for Hispanic Workers in the U.S.”, Jabour captivated a full room of EHS professionals with a mix of personal storytelling, compelling statistics, and practical strategies to protect vulnerable workers. He opened by sharing the tragedy that shaped his life — losing his father in a workplace accident at age six — which immediately connected him with the audience on a deeply human level.
Jabour, now based in Massachusetts, outlined the higher rates of occupational fatalities among Hispanic workers, pointing to three primary root causes:
A lack of safety culture among workers from countries without strong standards.
Language and communication barriers that leave training ineffective.
Fatalistic attitudes and misconceptions that downplay risk.
His proposed solutions emphasized human-centered action: delivering training in workers’ own languages, using storytelling to make lessons memorable, engaging leadership to model safe behavior, and reframing safety as family protection rather than compliance.
Attendees responded enthusiastically. “Rony’s message was both heartfelt and practical,” said Lisa Lemes, an EHS manager present at his session.
This appearance marked Jabour’s third time speaking at the NSC Congress, an extraordinary achievement for any professional. His repeated invitations underline both his expertise and the NSC’s commitment to amplifying diverse, global perspectives.
The NSC Safety Congress & Expo continues to be the premier stage for advancing innovation, sharing expertise, and strengthening the global safety community, with more than 1,000 exhibitors and thousands of professionals from around the world.
Closing his presentation, Jabour left the audience with a line that echoed through the room:
“Safety is not about PPE; it’s about going back home safely every day.”
