Webinar Recording Now Available: Safety Beyond the Jobsite — How the Energy Industry Can Disrupt Human Trafficking Networks

Missed the Region III webinar with Lindsey Mattson, Director of Industry Engagement (Energy) at TAT? The recording is now available to watch on demand.

Human trafficking is a horrific crime in which perpetrators exploit the bodies and labor of vulnerable people for illicit profit. Because of the methods traffickers use and the locations they target, the energy sector is uniquely positioned to help end trafficking through education and awareness.

In this session, Lindsey walks through the national prevalence of both labor and sex trafficking using real-world case examples and key statistics, explores how trafficking intersects with the energy industry, and shares practical, actionable steps for identifying red flags and reporting suspicious behavior. Attendees will come away knowing how to implement anti-trafficking training within their own organization.
