White provided the process of obtaining this contract. “I first met with Suzanne Gill, Special Projects, MDOT and Willie Huff, Director of Enforcement, MDOT to discuss my firm’s interest and capabilities of providing calibration services.

COVID-19 Guidance for the Construction Workforce When working in the construction industry, the following tips can help reduce the risk of exposure to the coronavirus: • Encourage workers to stay home if they are sick. • Allow workers to wear masks over their nose and mouth to prevent them from spreading the virus. • Continue to use other normal control measures, including personal protective equipment (PPE), necessary to protect workers from other job hazards associated with construction activities. • Advise workers to avoid physical contact with others and direct employees/contractors/visitors to increase personal space to at least six feet, where possible. Where work trailers are used, all workers should maintain social distancing while inside the trailers. • Train workers how to properly put on, use/wear, and take off protective clothing and equipment. • Encourage respiratory etiquette, including covering coughs and sneezes. • Promote personal hygiene. If workers do not have immediate access to soap and water for handwashing, provide alcohol-based hand rubs containing at least 60 percent alcohol. • Use Environmental Protection Agency-approved cleaning chemicals from List N or that have label claims against the coronavirus. • To the extent tools or equipment must be shared, provide and instruct workers to use alcohol-based wipes to clean tools before and after use. When cleaning tools and equipment, workers should consult manufacturer recommendations for proper cleaning techniques and restrictions. • Keep in-person meetings (including toolbox talks and safety meetings) as short as possible, limit the number of workers in attendance, and use social distancing practices. • Clean and disinfect portable jobsite toilets regularly. Hand sanitizer dispensers should be filled regularly. Frequently- touched items (i.e., door pulls and toilet seats) should be disinfected. • Encourage workers to report any safety and health concerns. For more information, visit www.osha.gov/coronavirus or call 1-800-321-OSHA (6742). June 2020 Innovate Mississippi, with support from the W.K.

Oswalt to the now unitary high school in Columbia. “It can happen only once and you are part of it. Now, what are you going to do?” It was a question the nation was asking, as Mississippi schools went through the most massive social change ever requested of any educational system in the United States. The response in Marion County was surprisingly constructive: the white student body president said, “If everybody can just treat everybody else as a human being, it might just turn out all right – be a big surprise to everybody.” And the black student body president flashed the peace symbol, a unifying gesture to both races, and predicted, “We can become a lighthouse in Marion County.” Three years later, it is apparent that Mississippi has not yet become that lighthouse and that it still contains potential for vicious racism.
