RMA recently nominated Keith Greer, Site Safety & Health Officer, for the National Safety Council’s Rising Stars of Safety, Class of 2013. According to Sharon Groff, Corporate Safety Officer, Keith was selected for his embrace of the safety protocols and processes. It was through his determination to use opportunities to further his safety knowledge that he was assigned to the large, technically challenging project at Schofield Barracks, Hawaii.

As the Site Safety & Health Officer at the Walsh RMA Joint Venture Tactical Equipment Maintenance (TEMF) project, Keith encourages individuals to stay focused on safety and improve work practices. He has organized many safety recognition events throughout the duration of the project to highlight individuals and subcontractors who have been models for safe and productive work. The project team will be celebrating the latest achievement of 250,000 man-hours without a lost time accident this week with another safety gathering.
