Data Center Safety Council Announces New Chair, Thomas Lee, QTS
SAINT PAUL, MN / ACCESS Newswire / February 2, 2026 / Data Center Safety Council (DCSC) is pleased to announce a newly elected Chair of the Steering Committee, Thomas Lee, QTS Data Centers; replacing Donna Lynch, STACK Infrastructure, who has served as chair for the last 2-year term since the inception of the group.
The Data Center Safety Council (DCSC) is a member-driven organization guided by an industry steering committee and supported by active participation from members. Together, they work to advance a unified approach to protecting the health, safety, and wellbeing of personnel across data center operations. As the sector continues to experience rapid growth, the need for consistent best practices, shared learning, and clearly defined resources for training and workforce development has become increasingly important. While awareness of safety risks within complex, often multi-employer environments has grown over the past 5-7 years, implementing comprehensive, organization-wide safety programs remains a challenge. Through collaboration, knowledge sharing, and advocacy, the DCSC helps align health and safety expectations and supports a consistent approach to managing operational risks across the industry.
Thomas Lee, QTS Data Centers, said:
I am honored to serve as Chair of the Data Center Safety Council and to collaborate with industry peers during this period of rapid growth and transformation.
”As our industry continues to evolve, we share a responsibility to ensure that safety remains at the forefront of everything we do. Together, we will advance our collective safety culture, strengthen industry practices, and build a safer environment for all,”
We appreciate the effort and guidance provided in this role by Donna Lynch and initiating the formation of this industry collective.
Donna Lynch, STACK Infrastructure, said:
By working together, we can ensure that safety remains at the forefront of our rapidly evolving industry, safeguarding the well-being of all those who contribute to its success.
” I look forward to continuing to see the DCSC grow and evolve and thanks to Thomas Lee for taking on this next term in the role of Chair,”
