SPECIAL Currently working as the Weston Solutions, Inc.
QUALIFICATIONS: Corporate Environmental Compliance and Health & Safety
Manager responsible for the development,
implementation, and maintenance of all associated EHS
programs and policies companywide.
I have over 25 years of proven professional safety leadership and work
experience successfully developing, implementing, and managing complex
Environmental Compliance, Health and Safety (EHS) programs, policies, and
procedures for internal and external clients worldwide. Through strong EHS
leadership and professional safety technical support, resilient and growing
interdependent safety cultures were developed which are recognized by core
clients as a business discriminator. These achievements were the direct
result of identifying and empowering key subject matter expert safety teams
and committees across the organization, charged with the goal of continual
safety culture improvement by focusing on proactive safety actions,
reducing and eliminating employee injuries and consistent application of
safety program elements at all levels of the organization. Initial
targeted areas for improvement were dangerous goods shipping, driving,
ergonomics, new employee safety, regulatory compliance, incident
prevention, and safety training. The resulting work products that emerged
include Weston's New Employee Orientation, Training, and Mentorship
program, Weston's Safe Driving Program, High Risk Ergonomic Program, and
others, significantly reducing Weston's DOT citations and intervention
score, a 50% reduction in OSHA recordable injuries, a 50% reduction in
worker compensation cases, 75% reduction in preventable automobile
accidents, 1005 reduction of ergonomic injuries, 100% reduction of new
employee injuries, and zero regulatory compliance citations. More
recently, program specific teams were developed to implement revised
guidance documents specifically for managing occupational medical
monitoring issues associated with the EPA Biowatch and USACE UXO related
projects, developing a safe and sustainable approach for employees
responding to Ebola Virus Disease contaminated locations, and
implementation of innovative administrative tools to accurately manage
medical exams, respirator fit test results, employee training, industrial
hygiene monitoring results, as well as all company EHS programs, resources,
and locations.
As the Corporate EHS Manager, I am currently responsible for all aspects of
the incident management process to include leading investigation teams, the
identification of root causes, implementing corrective actions, and
developing positive and negative trend analysis. The information obtained
during the investigation effort is communicated to management and safety
teams using a multi-media approach which includes quarterly newsletters,
emails, and community activity blogs. I have an in-depth understanding of
common environmental laws which include the Resource Conservation and
Recovery Act (RCRA), Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation,
and Liability Act (CERCLA), Emergency Planning and Community Right to Know
Act (EPRCA), Toxics Substances Control Act (TSCA), Clean Water Act (CWA),
Clean air Act (CAA) and more. I partner with all levels of management to
provide strategic planning guidance in anticipation of future and evolving
business needs. Examples of this guidance include the O&G client
requirement for the implementation of an incident intervention program,
revision of Weston's Bloodborne Pathogen Program to include potential
exposure to Ebola in the workplace, providing a brief to senior and
executive management regarding near term OSHA regulation changes and the
potential impact to business operations, the development and distribution
of significant revisions to the USACE EM 385-1-1, and focusing resources
on effective incident prevention methods in an effort to reverse a rising
EMR. Additional responsibilities include the development and implementation
of employee education and training programs, internal FLD and external RAV
programs, safety risk management evaluations mitigation controls,
comprehensive personal protection equipment programs and, and occupational
medical programs application.
I actively participated on various focus growth committees, providing
recommendations for EHS improvement for internal and external clients
programs to both senior and executive management. These recommendations for
improved performance are in accordance with company vision and mission as
well as current regulation, acts, and established principles and practices
of recognized occupational safety organizations such as OSHA, EPA, NIOSH,
ACGIH, and ASTM. I have had the opportunity to manage EHS operations for
various business units, client initiatives, and offices across the United
States, Asia, and the Middle East since 1997, providing me with the unique
opportunity to develop key relationship with management, safety
professionals, and their clients across the world. Having more than 25
years of safety leadership experience working on U.S. Army Corps of
Engineer (USACE) contracted projects have also allowed me an opportunity to
develop an extensive network of federal safety professionals, further
refining my regulatory knowledge and leadership abilities.
CURRENT EHS MANAGER DUTIES
As the current Corporate EHS Manager and senior safety professional, my
primary responsibilities are to provide the necessary leadership to help
each employee work safely, without fear of injury, minimize or eliminate
EHS related liability to the organization, and to ensure that our EHS
programs are in compliance with all internal and external regulations,
directives and laws. Additional EHS responsibilities include providing
senior-level leadership and technical support for all offices and projects
including horizontal and vertical construction, FUELS program maintenance
and repair, HTRW investigation and remediation efforts, MMRP surveys and
disposal, natural resource management, disaster response, and emergency
response efforts for federal, commercial/ industrial, Oil and Gas, and
various private clients worldwide.
