“James has worked collaboratively to identify and mitigate risk, protect workers and elevate the profession worldwide,” ASSP President Linda Tapp said. “His leadership, expertise and mentorship have made a lasting impact.”
Boretti also leads pro bono initiatives to broaden access to safety resources. He will be honored June 14 at ASSP's Safety 2026 conference in Anaheim, California.
