Evergreen Safety Council is pleased to announce the recipients of its Monty C. Lish and Stanley O. McNaughton Scholarship for Safety and Health Careers for the 2021-22 academic year.
Evergreen Safety Councilās Board of Directors selected Tristan Campbell, Viri Magana, and Joseph Van to receive the scholarship based on their commitments to pursuing health and safety careers in their fields of interest. Each student will receive $1000 to put toward their higher education expenses.
Campbell, who is studying Safety and Health Management at Central Washington University, says his experience in the construction field prompted a career focus on workplace health and safety.Ā
In discussions with co-workers, he realized how common on-the-job injuries are. āI got interested in why that is,ā he says. āWhen I was thinking about going to college, the health and safety program at Central came up. Iām excited to be able to stay in the construction field and give back to a profession that Iām really fond of.ā
Magana, who is majoring in Safety and Health Management at Central Washington University, was inspired to pursue a career in the field after noticing that the language gap between Spanish-speaking employees and their English-speaking employers often resulted in preventable workplace incidents and injuries.
āI have a lot of family members in construction,ā she explains. āBefore I graduated from high school I noticed a lot of them were getting injured at work. They would tell me there was never a Spanish speaker on site to talk to them about training and what they would need to not get injured.ā
Magana aims to change that by breaking down language barriers and establishing clear lines of communication between workers and management. āIf you want to have a strong safety culture in your workplace, you need to build those relationships at work so they understand what safety is about,ā she says.
Joseph Van is this yearās third scholarship recipient. He attends Tacoma Community College, where he is taking classes in environmental science as prerequisites for further studies in biology or forestryāfields he says have potential to intersect with safety training.Ā
