MASSACHUSETTS NURSE NEWSLETTER :: February 2008

Chris Pontus

Chris Pontus honored by MassCOSH for public sector OSHA coalition work

Chris Pontus RN, MS, COHN-S, CCM, associate director, health and safety division, was honored at the annual meeting of MassCOSH in November at the IBEW Local 103 Hall in Dorchester. Along with other union representatives who advocate for and represent workers in the Massachusetts public sector, Chris is engaged in establishing an executive order that will extend OSHA protection to state and municipal workers in the commonwealth.

This action, once accomplished, will benefit all MNA Unit 7 members as well as nurses in school and public health agencies by providing safety and health protections that currently are not available to them. Congratulations, Chris.
