Tribute

A discussion of Injury Management would not be complete without mentioning our friends and colleagues who died in the terror attacks on the World Trade Center September 11, 2001. In particular, we are proud of the many accomplishments of Harry Taback and Bob Ferris who played a significant role in the development and success of the Injury Management Program. As dedicated safety professionals, we are sure Harry and Bob gave their lives helping others escape the building.
