Sal is the consummate team player. We first met Sal when he worked on campus as an employee of our universal waste vendor. He was extremely personable and helpful. Upon joining the EAS as a health & safety technician, he was cross trained in all waste programs. As opportunities opened, Sal seized the moment. Sal showed an interest in learning about radioactive waste and became the lead technician for the radioactive waste program. He has assisted in re-training labs and training new technicians in radioactive waste management. Sal is also an essential part of our outlying biomedical waste program. He travels to clinics and other outlying locations to package and transport their biomedical waste. He also provides staff with valuable biomedical waste guidelines and guidance when needed. Sal brings forward new ideas on how to improve the section. He is always there to help others and does so with a positive attitude.
