nomination. Interested parties may watch the hearing video through

to vote on Mugno's nomination tomorrow, December 13, 2017. If
confirmed, Mugno will serve as the Administrator of the federal
Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA). Mungo would
replace Dr. David Michaels, who left the Agency last year.
Mugno was most recently the Vice President for Safety,
Sustainability and Vehicle Maintenance at FedEx Ground. Employers
are hopeful that Mugno will refocus the Agency away from David
Michael's hard emphasis on enforcement and implement measures
designed to improve workplace safety through cooperative compliance
programs such as the Voluntary Protection Program (NPP).
