Arlington, Virginia – Today, the Ӱɴý congratulated Scott Mugno, vice president of safety, sustainability and vehicle maintenance at FedEx Ground, on his nomination to be the next Assistant Secretary of Labor for the Occupational Safety and Health Administration.
“Scott is a very familiar face to Ӱɴý, having been a longtime and active member in our organization,” said Ӱɴý President and CEO Chris Spear. “Throughout that whole time, he has been a strong and committed voice for safety and responsibility. He is an outstanding choice to lead OSHA and I look forward to working with him after his swift confirmation.”
Mugno has worked for FedEx in a variety of safety-related roles since 1994, most recently as vice president of safety, sustainability and vehicle maintenance at FedEx Ground. In that time, he has served on or led a number of key Ӱɴý policy committees including the Safety Policy Committee, Labor and Regulatory Affairs Policy Committee, the Hazardous Materials Committee, the Hours-of-Service Subcommittee and the Ergonomics Subcommittee.
In addition, Mugno is also currently the chairman of the American Transportation Research Institute’s Research Advisory Committee.
“Scott has always shown a commitment not only to safety, but to using good data and input to determine how best to improve safety,” said ATRI President Rebecca Brewster. “He has repeatedly demonstrated this commitment through his involvement with ATRI and it is a trait that I know will make him a strong and fair regulator.”
