Johnston

After 16 years with UPS, Ron’s desire to help companies improve their safety culture and lower workers’ compensation costs inspired him to found Johnston & Associates in 1990. As a result of his experience with working with many different industries, Ron developed The M.O.S.T. System, a behavioral based system that helps employees and supervisors make safety a part of their everyday life at work and at home. Ron also created the S.O.S. System, a defensive driving system that is used nationally by trucking, manufacturing, distribution, and home health care companies to train their employees on the importance of safe driving habits. Clients even comment on how they use the S.O.S. System at home with their teenagers. Ron also holds a Master’s Degree from Emory University, and he taught business courses at Vanderbilt’s Owen School of Management. He now serves as President of Johnston & Associates. He believes in collaborative management, and that the best ideas come from the Johnston & Associates team, and their clients. By listening and working together as partners, his goal is to solve problems and build systems that prevent accidents and injuries from happening. Ron and his wife Carol are the proud parents of Larisa and Joey and enjoy spending time with their five granddaughters.
