Employees of the Quarter
Chloe Backman, Occupational Safety & Health
“Chloe
is a vital part of MUSC. She communicates the policies for safety on a
daily basis and is always willing to help with questions
regarding equipment pick up. Throughout MUSC, the many departments that
turn in unwanted equipment have to get an approval letter from Chloe.
She is efficient and effective with this task; always assisting people
with the correct way to process property in compliance with the law.
She has taught safety classes and will come to a work area to talk to
groups about how to keep the work area safe. She shares brochures and
other documents that inform us of how to be safe. She goes to labs and
explains how to properly clean incubators, freezers, and other items
prior to surplus pick up. Many times, people do not know that
they are not in compliance with policy. Chloe takes a lot of time
explaining policy and is a very patient person. She deals with
biohazardous items, sometimes things that are very dangerous. Most
especially, Chloe is a happy person! This is a much appreciated
characteristic of such a busy person. She is one of the nicest people
at MUSC. Because of Chloe’s dedication to maintaining safety in the
many departments at MUSC and her genuine ability to teach, lead and
maintain safety on a daily basis, Chloe should be the employee of the
quarter.

Dwayne McMillan, Contracts Inspection (Engineering & Facilities)
“Dwayne
was nominated for his outstanding effort and customer service on a
College of Dental Medicine (CDM) project during the period of August
through October 2009. Although Dwayne had worked on the project as the
construction inspector for the last two plus years and was instrumental
in its successful completion, his effort during this last three-month
period was exceptional. While the project manager was out on leave for
three months, Dwayne took over much of the responsibility for insuring
that the facility was ready for occupancy by CDM in early September. He
coordinated efforts to complete the punch list and resolve other issues
that were discovered as the occupants moved into the building. He was
the main point of contact for resolving issues after CDM began using
the building. He took on these issues by his own initiative.
Dwayne embraced the ideals of MUSC Excellence and provided excellent
customer service. He went out of his way to help the occupants when
they called about problems or with questions about something they
didn’t understand. He never displayed an “it’s not my job” mentality
even in those times when it really wasn’t his job. He did what
was needed to help the customer. He accepted every challenge thrown his
way and responded in a pleasant and professional manner to which we all
aspire.
Nominated by Philip Mauney, Director of Design, Engineering & Facilities/Administration
