Objective

I am interested in both short term and long-term opportunities in the Health and Safety profession. My preference is to work in a Leadership position for a company that is actively engaged in and supports the Health and Safety program. My past experiences are related to both General Industry and Heavy Construction. This includes major turnaround experience as well as new plant construction form a grassroots level.

Professional Profile

I am a skilled Safety Professional experienced in all phases of managing a successful safety program. I have experience in the petrochemical/manufacturing area as well as heavy construction. I directed a world class safety and health program for the ExxonMobil Polyethylene facility in Beaumont, Texas of approximately 400 company employees and 100 contract employees. My experiences include providing guidance to the Management Team and field technicians to ensure regulatory compliance with OSHA Regulations, ExxonMobil Operations Integrity Management System requirements, and compliance with the elements of the OSHA Volunteer Protection Program (VPP) – STAR. In 2007 the ExxonMobil Beaumont Polyethylene Plant achieved the highest OSHA VPP Award – “STARS Among STARS” for exceptional safety performance. These outstanding results were obtained through directing safety activities in the following key areas:

Safety and Health Management Systems.

Hazard recognition development and training.

Auditing and inspection of safety systems, compliance with safety and health procedures and safe work practices.

Emergency response.

Industrial hygiene.

Team skills to achieve a “win-win” situation in matters involving safety and health.

Case management

Procedure development and review

My construction background includes directing the safety program for plant expansions, major turnarounds and providing third party professional services representing the client. This includes initial review and development of project Safety Plans and procedures. Follow up assessments in the field are conducted to ensure the contractor is aligned and committed to follow the site policies and procedures.

Professional Experience

The Total Ethane Cracker Project was a $2 billion expansion of the existing Total Port Arthur Refinery. McDermott was the prime contractor. The project was a grass roots project that will employee up to 2000 craftsmen. As the Total HSSE Superintendent, my primary responsibilities were to establish safety and health systems to measure the performance of the McDermott safety and health activities. This included establishing Leading and Lagging Indicators as well as Key Performance Indicators (KPI’s). These indicators were routinely audited and measured with feedback provided to the Total Project Management Team. Checklist were developed to provide focus on Total “Golden Rules” and the Leading and Lagging Indicators. The objective was to support the concept of “Zero Injuries”.

In addition to implementing safety and health systems, the Superintendent position provided direction to 10 field Safety Advisors and the Total Project record keeper.

Airswift Safety Manager – ExxonMobil Venture Project Safety Advisor – Beaumont Polyethylene Plant Expansion Project (BPEX)

The ExxonMobil Beaumont Polyethylene Plant Expansion project included two major construction fronts – Outside Battery Limits (OSBL) and Inside Battery Limits (ISBL). The project was an approximately $1 billion-dollar expansion with a work force of ~1400 personnel at peak activities.

The OSBL activities were being managed by Jacobs Field Services and included site civil preparation of ~200 acres, drainage construction, construction of a central control room and, construct and install associated electrical sub-station and utilities. This work was being performed to support the construction of the ISBL.

I provided support to the sub-projects through providing guidance on ExxonMobil Safety Systems implementation. This included developing and providing guidance on implementation of the ExxonMobil Leading Indicators, Management Commitment, Safe Acts Index, Observation and Intervention and Last-Minute Risk Assessment quality. Lagging indicators were supported through incident investigation and tracking corrective actions to closure.

The Venture Project Safety Advisor position also supervised the Field Safety Team. The Field Safety Team is an independent team of subject matter experts performing observation and feedback on high-risk activities including Working at Heights, Crane and Rigging, Excavation Safety and Electrical Safety. Focused audits and feedback were performed with trending of results to the Management Team. The intent was to ensure the Client Team and the EPC are aligned on “What is an acceptable level of risk” when performing high risk task.

The project objective was to construct grass root facilities and plant upgrades within the ExxonMobil Mont Belvieu Plastics Plant. The intent was to prepare the existing plant for linkage to two new polyethylene reactors being built outside of the current plant fence line. Primary construction activities included a significant amount of dirt work; building a central control room; installing pipe racks and associated piping within existing operating units; building a flame thermal oxidizer unit; and a hexene unloading facility. Construction of the hexene unloading facility included 1800 foot of rail track, hexene storage tank and associated facilities. A major portion of the work was performed within the battery limits of a live polyethylene production facility.

My primary responsibilities as the ExxonMobil NA Growth EW&I Site Safety Lead included serving as a liaison between the ExxonMobil NA Growth EW&I project Team, the ExxonMobil Mont Belvieu Plastics Plant personnel, and the prime contractor - Jacobs Field Services. Activities included providing the contract work force with guidance on the ExxonMobil Mont Belvieu Plastics Plant safety policies and procedures. I provided proactive guidance to the contractor to remove barriers that may have a negative impact on construction schedule. The intent was to plan safety related activities in advance to ensure personnel were adequately trained in the plant safety policies and procedures. ExxonMobil NA Growth and the ExxonMobil Mont Belvieu Plastics had an agreement that the project personnel would follow the site-specific safety policies and procedures. An example of this activity was to interact with the plant training department to ensure the project had skilled personnel available to issue work permits.

A responsibility of the Site Safety Lead was to serve as a subject matter expert in ensuring the work was performed in compliance with the ExxonMobil safety policies and procedures as well as federal Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) regulations. To ensure compliance a comprehensive program consisted of training, program assessments and field inspections was implemented. The inspection program consisted of a Tiered inspection program that included Management weekly walkthroughs, daily facilities inspections and behavior-based safety observations.

Coordinating overhead work and fall protection were major challenges.

The purpose of the Field Safety Lead was to align the contractors on site with the BP safety and health objectives. This included developing and implementing policies and procedures that supported hazard recognition, safety audits and assessments, and work processes. For example, a Dropped Objects Program, extended shift permitting, and Work at Heights processes were developed to aid in completing the work safely and efficiently. Energy isolation plans and auditing were developed to ensure the Control of Hazardous Energy elements were fully in place. Leading indicator programs implemented were “Green Card” hazard recognition reporting and the “PIRATE” observation process which were targeted at peer-to-peer observations and feedback. HSE assessments were targeted at auditing field activities for compliance with established safety policies and procedures. “Safety Observation and Communication” was a program utilized by the management team to document hazards identified. 1000+ field observations were conducted over a four-month period. A daily review of the hazards reported was conducted and information provided to the management team and field technicians. Immediate corrective action was taken to eliminate or mitigate hazards identified. Using these leading indicators, we were able to successfully complete the pre-turnaround work and turnaround work with zero injuries, and no significant environmental impact or equipment damage.
