RAFB Workers Feel Safer on the Job, Gen. McMahon Gives OSHA Update

After the bulk of OSHA citations were handed down last year, Major General Robert McMahon told the media and the Robins Air Force Base Community the buck stops with him. And over the last nine months he’s completely changed safety measures at the base, for the better.

“The bottom line ladies and gentleman from my perspective is that we have made tremendous progress,” said Gen. McMahon.  

General McMahon began a transparent attack to resolve the citations and bring personnel together.

“We put together a team of about 25 folks, some of whom are in the room, to include our union leadership, to ensure that we’re doing the right things for our people,” said Gen. McMahon.  

So far the base has resolved 36 out of the 39 OSHA citations.  The base safety team includes representatives from different areas and ranks and provides a new culture when it comes to addressing safety.
