Summary

Safety First!

Even before I began my dream career of being a safety professional I always possessed an innate passion for the safety of those around me. I am a

firm believer in motivating people to want to be safe. I have an extensive knowledge base of OSHA and ADEM/EPA regulations of which I expand

upon daily. I possess a strong working knowledge of workers compensation laws and regulations, I am also a firm believer in continuing education;

laws and regulations seem to change every day and without constantly updating one can become stale.

Implementing site safety programs including comprehensive risk evaluations, employee training and behavioral improvements.
