That the number of crane-related fatalities and injuries had
declined as a direct result of this initiative was validation, he says, of
the original vision of NCCCO’s founding fathers and a testament to
the millions of hours of hard work and expertise donated by industry
volunteers in fulfilling NCCCO’s mission.
After 23 years at the helm, Brent says that it’s been an honor and
a privilege to be part of that success.
“I am delighted that Thom has agreed to step into this role
to lead a singularly professional team of dedicated staff and volunteers
whose commitment to the NCCCO safety mission is as
extraordinary as it is effective,” said Brent. “And I have every confidence
in the detailed transition plan that has been developed
to provide seamless continuity of service to the industry and its
certification stakeholders.”
Brent is equally enthusiastic about the pospects for the NCCCO
Foundation that he will lead.
“I am thrilled at the opportunity the Foundation will provide to
focus on initiatives that will contribute to workplace health and safety
in new and inspiring ways while allowing NCCCO to continue
to pursue its mission of developing effective certification programs
for construction, telecommunications and other industries,” he said.
