How to strengthen your safety supply chain

September 22, 2025
By the Blue Print Editorial Team
From pandemics to natural disasters, it seems another supply chain disruption is always on the horizon. We talk with Brent Roeder, director of safety sales, to learn how to strengthen a safety supply chain before the next big event.

Three takeaways 
  1. The first thing you can do is develop a team that plans out risk mitigation in your supply chain. 
  2. Talk with vendors and suppliers ahead of time. Ask what they can do before a disruption occurs. 
  3. Communicate. Communicate before, during, and after an event. Communicate inside and outside of your organization.
