SAN DIEGO, Sept. 9, 2019 /PRNewswire/ --The National Safety Council is honored to announce that Dr. Megan Tranter, global director of environment, health and safety at Amazon, is the recipient of its 2019 Marion Martin Award, presented annually to an outstanding female safety professional. Tranter was honored during the opening session of the annual NSC Congress & Expo in San Diego on Sept. 9.

Tranter is an executive with global experience managing non-financial risk.

"Megan is a true role model for women in safety," said Lorraine M. Martin, president and CEO of the National Safety Council.
