OSHA appoints
new head of the newly named Directorate of Technical Support and Emergency
Management |
|
|
WASHINGTON -- Assistant Secretary of Labor for
Occupational Safety and Health Edwin G. Foulke, Jr. has appointed Thomas M.
Galassi as the new director of the newly named Directorate of Technical Support
and Emergency Management (TSEM), formerly the Directorate of Science, Technology
and Medicine. Galassi most recently served nine years as deputy director of
OSHA's Directorate of Enforcement Programs.
He began his career with OSHA in 1986 as a compliance officer in the Milwaukee,
Wis., Area Office. He is a certified industrial hygienist and holds a master's
degree in public health in environmental/occupational health from the University
of Illinois. Galassi received a Bachelor of Science degree in physiology from
Illinois State University.
"Tom has been an invaluable member of the OSHA team for the past 22 years," said
Foulke. "I congratulate him on his new position, and I am confident that we will
continue to benefit from his vast experience as we move forward to accomplish
the agency's mission and ensure that OSHA is effective for years to come."
Foulke said the importance of emergency preparedness became clear after the
attack on the World Trade Center and anthrax exposures in 2001. In the aftermath
of these attacks, OSHA undertook an unprecedented effort to collaborate with
federal, state and local governments, as well as private sector employers, to
provide employee safety and health technical support and services.
"I am confident that the creation of the Directorate of Technical Support and
Emergency Management, and the support of the talented OSHA team we already have,
will further enhance the agency's leadership in protecting the working men and
women of this country, whether they are engaged in their normal work or involved
in the challenging tasks of response and recovery," Foulke said.
Under the Occupational Safety and Health Act of 1970, employers are responsible
for providing a safe and healthy workplace for their employees. OSHA's role is
to promote the safety and health of America's working men and women by setting
and enforcing standards; providing training, outreach and education;
establishing partnerships; and encouraging continual process improvement in
workplace safety and health. For more information, visit
