Professor Emeritus - Department of Industrial and Management Systems Engineering
During Dr.Della-Giustina's tenure as chairman (17 Yrs.) of the Dept. of Safety and
Environ. Management at West Virginia University, he built the program into the
finest of its kind in the world. His ten text books in the field are standard teaching
references in the United States and international educational institutions. In
the corporate sector, his writings are widely used as the foundation upon which
company-wide safety programs are built.
In the early 1990's, Dr. Della-Giustina recognized the signs that violence in the
workplace was going to increase. He began working then to define the problem and
seek methods of coping with what was to become a burgeoning national problem. His
leadership today is helping businesses understand potential warning signs and ways
to protect employees. Dr. Dell-Giustina has been the recipient of many national
and international awards.
The highest awards by the two lending professional organizations in the world were
confirmed on Dr. Della-Giustina.
