The Year 2011 in Review - From the EHS Point of View, Part Two

In my last posting,  I was remembering 2011 and celebrating the successes for MUIR. Two such areas of success for the EHS Department could be found in new partnerships and company teamwork. Sharing at that time our new-found partnerships, the discussion now turns to teamwork and the people who exemplify the characteristics of good team members and great teamwork.
Teamwork
I experience a great feeling of success when I think of the two teams for which I have the privilege of working with: The MUIR Safety Team and the MUIR Internal Auditing Team. 
In 2011, both teams were given new challenges and responsibilities and both teams rose up to meet those challenges and responsibilities with success and pride.
Our Safety Team consists of four members coming from workstations that are located in such a manner that they nicely cover and represent the company. They manage demanding responsibilities on a daily basis while taking on an additional responsibility of Safety Team Member. Each month Opal, Bryan, Jenny and Truongson perform safety audits in their assigned regions, inspect fire extinguishers and meet with me, the Safety Team Leader, to report any areas of concern.
