PROFESSIONAL OBJECTIVE
Continuing my career managing construction, oil and gas, or general industry work-site issues and
provide the correction of safety and environmental oversights by using the experience and
knowledge gained.
ACCOMPLISHMENTS
I have used behavior based safety as a teaching tool in new hire orientations, toolbox talks, during
site audits, and safety meetings. I have had successful results and on every safety position that I
have held, I always have workers tell me that I have helped them become successful in being
accident free. My belief in safety is to internalize safety and live it every day to make it a habit.
