Joseph’s leadership skills is an obvious area of strength. His natural ability
to lead coupled with his in-depth knowledge of safety in a construction and semiconductor environment has
proven excellent results with not only the building of great project safety cultures, but also in the coaching
and advancement of other safety professionals within our industry.
His high moral standards and ethics are evident in his actions and words when representing his profession
and when representing himself as a man. I consider Joseph a person of absolute integrity in his capacity as a
safety professional and in his personal responsibilities. These qualities reflect in the manner in which he
leads and in the end product of his assignments which he takes great pride in.
He demonstrates strong self-discipline and a willingness to assume personal responsibility for his role in
furthering the safety culture of Utah’s employers and employees.

Most recently Joseph worked with the editorial staff of ASSP’s Professional Safety Journal (PSJ) and submitted a peer-reviewed manuscript which was accepted and published in the 2023 May issue of the PSJ. Since then Joseph continues to work on additional articles for submission to the PSJ to further share his knowledge and experience with others in our profession.

This year we changed our “Annual Winter Coat Drive” to “Winter Clothing Drive”, with the goal of expanding on potential donations.

With the help of the Utah Safety Council, we had a great donation to give to The Road Home shelter.

Thanks to your generous donations many people will be a little bit warmer this winter season.

If you wrote or co-wrote a safety related article (that is at least 1500 words) and you would like to be published in our Utah Chapter newsletter, send your article to our newsletter editor who will review it and work with you to get it published in one of our next editions of our newsletter. Each year within our chapter you could earn up to 1 point for a single author and 0.5 points if you are one of multiple authors.

We are grateful for all of the sponsors and supporters of this year’s dinner and silent auction fundraiser. The event was held in the majestic facility of the Associated General Contractors. The food was delicious, and the technical speaker, Carly Baez was highly relevant and informative. Everyone attending enjoyed the event and those bidding on items got some great bargains.
