Intervala Medical Emergency Response Team Achieves Recertification

Congratulations to our Medical Emergency Response Team (MERT) members who completed their biennial emergency safety training last week! The team earned renewed certification on first aid, CPR, AED, fire extinguisher safety and hazardous materials identification. Big thanks to Fire Chief Bill Frye of nearby Jeannette, Pa., for conducting the training.

Our MERT team is the first line of response in the event of a medical emergency at Intervala. Each area of our facility and every shift includes at least one team member to ensure speedy assistance should a coworker be in distress.  

Thank you to the caring and dedicated employees who volunteer to serve on MERT, including veteran team members Janet Grzandziel and Sarah Martin (team leaders), Chris Brison, Jason Eddy, Eric Kline, Keith Nelson and Dan Ruggiero, and recent additions Tara Lofstrom and Lori White!     

MERT is just one of many committees that Intervala employees can get involved with beyond their day-to-day activities.
