I am honored to join the team,” Risch said. “My vision for growing Rosendin’s strong safety culture is to connect our employees around the value of making safety a personal priority. By further utilizing data analysis to identify trends, we can prevent injuries for all workers, whether they are in an office or on a job site.”
