Delmarva Chapter Announces NAOSH Poster Contest Winners

Twenty-two students asked parents and other adult role models about the hazards present in workplaces, then created a poster depicting safety in the workplace. Thanks to Daryl M. See and Norman Umberger of the Delmarva Chapter of the American Society of Safety Engineers for engaging students in thinking about safety through the local “Safety on the Job” poster contest.
