In Memoriam: Brian Haney

Brian Haney, vice president of safety and compliance at Leadpoint Business Services, has died of cancer at 57 years old. Haney is remembered for his numerous contributions to Leadpoint’s safety strategy. He created LiveSafe, a safety philosophy that helped Leadpoint associates understand safety both at work and at home. Haney followed this with another program, “Start Safe, LiveSafe,” which established proper safety practices during the first 90 days of Leadpoint’s presence at any new site.

“None of this work would have been possible without his leadership and genuine commitment to safety. We are extremely grateful for the time Brian was here and what he accomplished for our company and the recycling industry,” says Frank Ramirez, CEO and president of Leadpoint.

Before joining Leadpoint, Haney had experience working in safety and compliance roles for a Fortune 500 waste and recycling company, a used-oil and antifreeze recycler, an international chemical distributor and as an EHS consultant.

He presented at SWANApalooza and Waste Expo events, and according to Leadpoint, “worked tirelessly to improve safety across the industry.”

Haney is survived by his wife Jennifer and son Benjamin.

He was committed to Faith Comes by Hearing and Folds of Honor. His family suggests supporting these organizations as a tribute to his legacy.
