Karen K. Daw, The OSHA lady, was raised all over the country due to her Father’s military service. She may have been raised in many places but she calls Hawaii her home. In college, she decided to trade sun for snow and moved to the Buckeye State of Ohio for higher education, where she continues to live today.

After graduating from The Ohio State University, Karen was recruited from the emergency department to serve as the Health and Safety Director of her alma mater’s College of Dentistry, simultaneously furthering her education by receiving an MBA with a focus on Management and Healthcare Administration.    

With over two decades’ experience helping medical, dental, and professional offices enhance their safety, infection control, and compliance systems, Karen has developed an “edutainment” method for OSHA training, incorporating hands-on activities and engaging exercises into her courses.

Karen Daw is the Chief Inspiration Officer of her own life  – as a daughter, sister, friend, animal lover.
