Texas A&M-Commerce Takes It Personally When Your Degree Is Involved Meet Your Advisor
Dr. Ben Cranor is a safety evangelist. As a young mortician he saw just about every way a person can die and later, as a grief minister, witnessed the impact loss and injury had on friends, family, and co-workers. These powerful experiences awakened in him a passion to protect lives through accident prevention. “Open up the OSHA regulations,” he says, “and every sentence on every page is written in the blood of an injury or death. Its not arbitrary, nor capricious.” Dr. Cranor was instrumental in developing the online graduate program for safety management at A&M-Commerce. He employs the aid of a team he calls his “72 experts” when in-depth knowledge of a particular hazard is needed and calls on them to aid in his classes. “I find people who know more than I do about specific hazards and my support team of experts have safety and risk management experience in construction, oil and gas, aviation, insurance, manufacturing, entertainment, and military support operations. Incomplete or incorrect information has no place in safety.” The need for degreed and credentialed safety professionals with experience and a sense of duty is more
