Bryan Patterson, an employee of Cabarrus County Transportation Services, recently earned a Manager of Environmental, Safety and Health (MESH) certification.

MESH is a certificate series sponsored by the Safety and Health Council of North Carolina, North Carolina State University and N.C. Department of Labor.

“We are tremendously happy to recognize Bryan as a recipient of the MESH certificate,” said North Carolina’s Commissioner of Labor Cherie Berry. “This program prepares managers for keeping their work sites safe and healthy, and that preparation improves employee protection and company productivity.”

The MESH program is designed to increase the professionalism of environmental, safety and health managers at governmental, commercial and manufacturing sites in North Carolina through a series of continuing education programs.

The MESH program strives to recognize environmental managers, raise industry standards and increase the value of these practitioners to their employers and others to whom their services are provided.
