Bruce Lyon, a member of the American Society of Safety Professionals (ASSP), is the recipient of the 2025 Prevention through Design (PtD) Award. Lyon is a leading expert in occupational safety and health with more than 45 years of experience working with national and global organizations across various industries.
The annual award recognizes an elite workplace safety and health professional, team, or organization that demonstrates outstanding leadership in eliminating or reducing workplace hazards through design or redesign efforts and contributes to the body of knowledge that enables PtD solutions. The award is presented by ASSP, in partnership with the National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health (NIOSH)), the National Safety Council (NSC), and the American Industrial Hygiene Association (AIHA).
“Assessing workplace environments and proactively designing out hazards is an innovative and long-term approach to business sustainability and preventing worker injuries, illnesses, and fatalities,” said ASSP president Linda Tapp. “Bruce specializes in risk assessment and risk management and has greatly elevated the use of safety standards and prevention through design principles around the world.”
Lyon chairs and vice chairs key ANSI/ASSP risk management and prevention through design committees and previously advised on ISO 31000 standards.
