Greetings,
I am seeking a positon with your company. As a capable industrial
health and safety professional with a solid technical background and a wide
range of experience; I believe I am someone who will be an asset to your
company. With a proven ability to implement health and safety and
environmental initiatives that get results, I would like to explore the
possibility of putting my skills and experience to work for you. As you can
see from my enclosed resume, I have nearly 15 years of industrial health
and safety experience. Currently working as the HSE Manager at Voith Paper
and Fabrics in Appleton I am mainly responsible for the following:
. OSHA compliance and OSHA 500 Instructor for 10 and 30 hours
training.
. DOT Hazardous Materials.
. All safety training programs.
. Environmental compliance including ROPA and Air Emission Permitting
and Waste Reduction.
. Incident investigation, Worker's Compensation Claims and Return to
Work programs.
. Site Auditing and Observation for legal compliance to federal,
state and local requirements.
. Lead auditor for ISO Quality 9001:2008, Environmental 14001:2004
and OSHSAS 18001:2007 certification.
. Community First Responder Instructor - First Aid, AED/CPR and
Bloodborne
. Continuous Improvement projects though Operational Excellence
implementing 5s.
SAFETY ACHIEVEMENTS
I successfully put renewed focus on safety working with senior
management and safety committees to achieve a 30% reduction in recordable
injuries. I successfully on boarded a new Occupational Health Facility that
more aligns with the company's philosophy of reducing recordable injuries
through better case management and reduced them by 10%. I have successfully
developed and implemented a safety improvement accountability plan that
rehabilitates repeat offenders back to the zero incidents state and
succeeded with individuals for duration of a year or more with no
incidents.
ENVIRONMENTAL ACHIEVEMENTS
I have successfully reduced our environmental footprint by reclaiming
waste oils and turning it into a profit. In 2014 2,316lbs was reclaimed and
recycled from our industrial wiping towels and 714lbs was reclaimed from
waste oil absorbents. A mass amount of soft waste generated is recycled
back into the process reducing contaminated product by 80%. Water
reclamation is recycled for steam and domestic energy for heating and
cooling and increased air flow by 30%.
Prior to moving to Wisconsin I was a Safety Specialist for BP
Refinery Capitol Projects HSSE Safety Team with the Whiting Project
Alliance located in Whiting, Indiana. I served as the President of the
Contractor Safety Committee where I represented 11,500 Contractors which is
the largest Contractor Community in Indiana. As a team we reduced the EMR
rate from a 1.5 to a .77 in less than two years.
My success in these positions is defined by my dedication, team
approach, and strong interpersonal skills. Skilled at identifying problem
areas and recommending remedial action, I am also adept at building the
individual commitment necessary to make a safety program successful. An
acknowledged leader with excellent communications skills, I have proven to
be a respected and valued resource. With a record of success behind me, I
am confident that I will be an asset to you as well.
I would be pleased to have the opportunity to discuss future employment and
look forward to speaking with you. Feel free to contact me at the address
and phone number listed below.
Thank you for your consideration.
