In Case You Missed It...
As a tribute to the late Mike Corbett, CAS for Federal OSHA, who devoted years to making the construction industry a better, safer place, ACCNJ presented its second annual “Mike Corbett Memorial Safety Award” to Francis Mulhall from IEW, at ACCNJ’s Safety Council Meeting. As a 30-year member of the Laborers’ International Union of North America and current Laborers Local 472 foreman, she joined IEW in 2010. During her 13 years with IEW she has been a key element of their field supervision team on many heavy-civil, sitework, and roadway projects for owners including NJ DOT, New Jersey Turnpike Authority and New Jersey Transit.
Francis, was nominated for her ardent approach to workplace safety, communicating in a passionate and direct manner, with zero tolerance for compromise.
?ACCNJ congratulates Francis on this well-deserved award.?
CIAP of NJ hosted its first ever Engagement Event where former and current interns took advantage of the opportunity to catch up with professors and old friends, meet the CIAP Board of Trustees and ACCNJ Staff, and make new connections.
