Dear Sir/Madam:

R.E: EMPLOYMENT APPLICATION AS A HEALTH & SAFETY PERSONNEL. I am excited to apply for a position with your organization due to its values, work culture and renowned reputation in the industry. This opportunity would allow me to grow, learn & show case my professional skills.

I began my career working in the mining industry with HITACHI Construction Machinery (ltd), then joined BIA KOMATSU (ltd) and currently with First Quantum Minerals (FQM) (ltd) where I developed practical experience in Health & Safety Systems Implementation as a Health & Safety Representative. Despite my current career role, I have contributed immensely towards Health & Safety Management, by conducting daily Safety Inspections, Formulating Job Hazard Analysis, collaborating with QHSE Supervisors in carrying out Safety Audits, document reports, incident investigation, Root Cause Analysis and development of functional innovative Control measures adapt to an organizations work environment. Coupled with team effort at my previous company this resulted in achieving 615 working days without Lost Time Injury –LTI, which furthered a positive Safety Culture growth and attitude.

Throughout my career I observed one of the challenges encountered by HSE practitioners, is the gap between, their ability to identify risks to safety being experienced by an exposed worker, against their inability to fully comprehend with the degree/significance of the identified hazards, as would be experienced by the exposed worker in real time. I bridge this gap as I have interacted with various hazards & risks contingently in my career as a Mechanical Technician adapt to offering innovative Control measures at a low cost. Thus am confident am an excellent match for the job requirements.

I would really appreciate an opportunity to be invited for an interview to further discuss my skills. Attached is my resume, copies of educational qualifications available upon request. Yours Sincerely,

Manasseh Misheck Chitanda.
