As a Rig Safety Training Coordinator I worked as drilling company safety
representative and analyzed many types of work environments and work
p rocedures. I inspected workplaces for adherence to regulations on safety, health,
and the environment. I observed the work that is taking place and offered
suggestions for the workers to find better body positions to lessen the chance of an
occupational injury. I reported daily on work activities and empowered the workers
to do the right thing when it comes to work safety. I monitored atmospheric
conditions for all hot work to take place. I monitored housekeeping of work areas
and recommended where extra attention needs to take place. I worked very hard to
keep the work area INC free by using BSEE, U.S Coast Guard, Alaska Department
of Environmental Conservation and client safety regulations as a minimum
guideline. I also designed programs to prevent disease or injury to workers and
damage to the environment. I gathered data and compiled results from Behavior
Based Safety programs. I represented my client on drilling rigs and have worked on
t he Endeavour.
