WORK EXPERIENCE:

Zachry Construction Co. (September 2007-July 2010) Safety Manager

Covington, Virginia

Supervisor: Charles Loftin-540-***-****

Duties: I worked as the Safety Manager for the Preventative Maintenance

Contractor, Zachry, at the MeadWestvaco Pulp and Paper Mill in Covington,

VA. I conducted orientation of site specific safety training for all new-

hires; conduct annual refresher training for all employees; conduct

investigation for all injuries, near-miss incidents and accidents, and

complete all required safety documentation. I have composed and implemented

new processes and procedures as needed. I complete order requisitions for

Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) and distribute to all employees as

appropriated by regulation. I have instructed OSHA 10 and 30 hour classes,

as well as instructed American Red Cross First Aid/CPR/AED classes for

employees. I have chaired the Safety Committee for the entire project. I

have overseen the Assured Grounding Program, where all electrical tools and

cords are inspected and color-coded each quarter. I have maintained the

OSHA 300 Log and First Aid Log to ensure their currency and accuracy. I

have conducted safety audits on numerous occasions of the worksite.

Some of the safety related procedures and policies that I have written and

implemented for various issues that have arisen during my work in this

facility are as follows:

I had the opportunity to create and implement the "Reverse Line and

Equipment Procedure" for the reconnecting of piping and equipment due to

the possibility of continued hazards. I conducted an intensive attendance

policy as well as provided training. I composed and implemented a Cell-

Phone Usage Policy for all employees to adhere to while on the job. I

developed a Safety Violation Tracking System for tracking individual

employees' safety infractions in order to determine whether they were

behavior based decisions, or refresher training was required. In order to

create a safer work environment, I implemented the policy of all confined

space entrants to carry an air/gas monitor with them while working inside

of a vessel in addition to the portal attendant having one. The reasoning

for this is that the readings at the portal (entrance) may be fine but the

workers inside could create a pocket of toxic vapors or gases to spread

around them and put them in danger of being overcome or possibly death. I

also implemented the usage of sealable safety eyewear while working in any

dusty environment/. I also implemented the placing of magnetic strips on

the front bill of hard-hats for all employees that use a grinder on any

metal surfaces to prevent airborne metal particles from entering their

eyes. The re-formatting of MeadWestvaco's Confined Space, LEO (Line and

Equipment Opening) and Hot Work Permits is the major accomplishment during

my time on this project.

Center. I composed a site specific safety manual and conducted orientation

and safety training for all sub-contractor employees that came to work on

this project. I was in charge of the CCIP (Contractor Controlled Insurance

Program) for all medical claims, incidents and environmental claims that

might arise during this project. I also conducted the pre-employment and
