"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.
