Mililani, Hawaii 96789
Dear Hiring Executive:
I am very interested in an EHS position. As a successful
environmental, health, and safety professional and manager in the food and beverage
industry, my responsibilities have included corporate EHS, risk management, fleet safety,
hazard remediation, training and development, industrial hygiene, medical surveillance
administration and loss control.
Currently, I am in charge of merging and organizing EHS and fleet for Meadow
Gold Dairy’s multiple plants and distribution centers across the state of Hawaii, into a
unified and effective program. I have also developed and implemented a formal EHS
program for a multi-site meat packing company and for a multi-site defense contractor.
Additionally, I am experienced with needs assessment; return on investment-cost benefit
analysis, engineering controls, hazardous materials management, and developing safety
citizenship through leadership.
Consistent with my Baccalaureate degree focused on industrial management and
safety, I have fifteen years of broad and progressive experience in the EHS field.
Additionally, my expertise in operations management has honed my ability to
concurrently improve productivity and safety.
Some of my accomplishments include: 1) Merged operations which reduced
redundancy and incidents, increased productivity and profit; 2) Drastically reduced large
illness rates by effective ergonomics; 3) Provided leadership in complex issues that
simultaneously involved five different unions; 4) Developed over one hundred training
programs; 5) Delivered 10,000 training requirements in five years to a diverse workforce;
and 6) Passed two comprehensive OSHA wall-to-wall inspections. As evidence of my
work ethic, efficiency, and effectiveness, I have received several outstanding service
awards and performance bonuses.
My resume, along with seminars and workshops I have attended, are enclosed for
your review. Realizing that a written summary cannot adequately communicate the
benefits I can provide, I am looking forward to hearing from you, and to meet your client
in person.
Sincerely,
Joseph E. Davis
