Re: Occupational Safety & Health Management
To Whom It May Concern:
Having served within multiple Service and Industrial professional safety
capacities, I have had the opportunity to develop, implement, execute,
mentor and observe many sizes and shapes of numerous successful safety
programs. "Safety Program Management" must be a key "Strategic Core
Competency" in the successful implementation and on-going operations of an
organization's strategy to achieve "sustainable" results.
My safety education and management experiences have revealed that a Safety
Program's success is most highly dependent upon technically competent and
results oriented "leadership"; demonstrating, utilizing and coordinating a
company's key safety management philosophies while recognizing:
* All injuries are preventable
* Safety is everyone's responsibility
* Working safely is a condition of employment
* Training employees to work safely is essential
* Safety is good business.
The "Occupational Safety & Health Management" position you seek to fill
represents a significant opportunity, challenging technically as well as
organizationally, matching my skill set and experience very well. I look
forward to hearing from you, and the opportunity to serve.
Thank you for your kind consideration.
Sincerely,
