Gone Fission Nuclear Report

Ask any DOE environmental cleanup contractor what their top priority is, and you will undoubtedly get the same answer: SAFETY. It's written into procedures; It's preached; It's practiced, and for most workers it becomes second nature--a natural part of the way they perform at work. One key component of every safety culture is Personal Protective Equipment (PPE). In today's episode, we talk to two executives of The Bullard Company in Lexington, KY, a major supplier of PPE to DOE's environmental cleanup program. Edward W. Bullard, great-grandfather of Wells Bullard, the company's current CEO, has been installed in the National Inventor's Hall of Fame for his invention of the hard hat in 1919. It's a great story about every DOE cleanup contractor's biggest concern. Plus get all the latest news about environmental cleanup around the complex.
