General Inquiry Letter

To Whom It May Concern,

As reflected on the Resume, I have a proven record of enhancing Safety, Health and Environmental

programs by taking pro-active hands on approach in the prevention of occupational injuries and workers’

compensation claims management in manufacturing, maintenance and construction environments. My

present employer’s safety record reflects the success of this approach with a significant reduction in

occupational injuries resulting in a 50 % decrease in the company’s experience modification rate.

Additionally, the company has achieved OSHA “STAR” status under the Voluntary Protection Program and

has been a recipient of numerous safety awards recognized nationally.

The brief highlights of my credentials include:

• Diversified Experience in Management and Development of E, H & S Processes

• Presentation of Safety Materials

• E, H & S Training Program Implementation

• Workers’ Compensation Management

• Pipeline Operator Qualification & Compliance

• Hazardous Materials Management

• Obtaining & Maintaining OSHA VPP “STAR” Status at Various Locations

• OSHA Special Government Employee (SGE)

• Master Trainer & Construction Site Safety Manager through the National Center for Construction

• Certified Occupational Safety Specialist

I believe that my experience will be an asset to your organization and would appreciate an opportunity to

discuss my qualifications in further detail.

Thank you for your time, consideration and forthcoming reply.

Sincerely,

Morris W. Kantor
