David Keeling has been confirmed to lead the Occupational Safety and Health Administration as the assistant secretary of labor. The U.S. Senate voted 51-47 to approved his confirmation, along with a block of dozens of other nominees for other federal agencies.
Keeling is Amazon’s former director of road and transportation safety, a job he left in mid-2023 to do consulting, according to LinkedIn. He also spent about 36 years working for the United Parcel Service in several regional safety manager and director roles before becoming its vice president of global health and safety.
