CAREER OBJECTIVE

Seeking a position with a successful company that will provide a

challenging but rewarding opportunity to significantly contribute to its

efficiency, organization, growth and profitability.

PROFESSIONAL EXPERIENCE

The Weitz Company; Omaha, Nebraska 8/08 - 11/08

Project Safety Manager - Interim Position

$330 million project

Eriksen Construction Company; Blair, Nebraska 5/2000

- 5/08

Safety Director for 6 construction based companies and a motel owned by

Eriksen Investments.

Position eliminated due to the downturn in the construction industry.

While working at Eriksen Construction Company there was no safety program,

policies or procedures that were being enforced. Employees went to work and

some might wear their PPE (Personal Protective Equipment) or not,

housekeeping needed improvement, and there were many other violations.

After spending time talking and working with employees and management I

presented to the company a detailed safety program for the construction

company. At this time I started enforcing all safety programs, policies and

procedures at the job sites. Some of the employees were not in favor of the

enforcement of safety at the job site but we worked together as a team to

get this accomplished.

. With the implementation of the safety programs we had a job site

that was safer for the employee and the company we had improved

housekeeping at all job sites.

. The safety program was started with the construction company and

management asks to have a safety program written for each of the

other companies under the Eriksen Investment umbrella. These

companies consist of an electric company, welding company, a

plumbing company, an excavation company and a motel.

. When the safety programs for the companies were in place, we worked

together to improve the safety programs, employee safety, company

safety and housekeeping.

For many years ConAgra Foods was having their safety inspections done by

their insurance companies for many years. When I went into the safety

department I started traveling to all of the grain processing companies

seminars, ConAgra Foods started sending me to all of the location for the

grain processing companies such as grain facilities for Peavey Grain,

edible beans plants with Klein Berger & Company and all the flour mills for

the ConAgra Flour Milling Companies in the United States, Canada and Puerto

Rico.

. Improved the attitudes and the way of thinking about safety for the

employees and the company with training and talking with employees.

. Stressed the importance of how to work safely and walked through

the facilities to keep a watch for any and all safety issues.

. ConAgra Grain Process was given a refund check from the insurance

company in the amount of $50,000.00 each year that I completed the

safety inspections.

the company and for their co-workers. Employees had a clean and
