Chris Cameron

Age: 38
Director of Occupational Health
Makovicka Physical Therapy
Lincoln, NE

“An example of an initiative that Chris recommended was with a local construction company. He established a unit of measure regarding employee fitness levels that helped control incident rates and ensure the employees hired are able to perform the tasks required. A key component of a company’s success is to ensure they hire individuals who are competent and physically able to perform a task. This is important not only to the safety of the employee, but also, and more importantly, to the employees who work with or near that individual and the company in general. As the safety director indicated: ‘Chris Cameron has single-handedly reduced our injury rates by 50% in just one year.’”
