Professional Summary

I am a safety professional with 12 years of experience in establishing safety guidelines, policies, procedures and

solutions, with the main focus of an accident free environment. In addition to safety, I have implemented ISO 9000

quality management and gained extensive knowledge of OSHA standards and regulations within the codes for

compliance. Evaluated, created and improved the Job Safety Analysis (JSA) into daily functions of employees. The

numerous certifications and licenses strengthened by experience and education, has made significant improvements

with increased safety performance relating to operations, transportation, construction and warehouse distribution.

Safety has become a passion for me, not only by attitude and direction, but most important creating an environment that

adapts to the necessary changes to have an accident & injury free workforce!
