The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers and the Council for Dredging and Marine Construction Safety (CDMCS) have inked a strengthened partnership on safety and discussed ways, through shared understanding and commitment, to create and sustain an injury-free workplace and safety-first culture for the men and women of the dredging and marine construction industry.

At this milestone event – which was held yesterday, June 3, in Washington, D.C. – CDMCS’ Executive Director Michael Gerhardt and President Devon Carlock signed the memorandum of understanding alongside Major General William H. Graham, USACE’s Deputy Commanding General for Civil and Emergency Operations. Accompanying MG Graham were Chief of Operations and Regulatory Tom Smith, Chief of Safety Mark Atkins, and other key personnel from USACE HQ.
