I’ve developed, implemented and managed EHS corporate and support programs for a variety of projects, including Behavior Based Safety, LOTO, Confined Space, Safety Audits, Incident Investigation/Root Cause Analysis, Hazardous Material Tracking, and Contractor Management, as well as Key Performance Indicators for lagging and leading metrics. I hold numerous safety certifications including OSHA 510 and 500, CHST, MESH, Competent Person, as well as procedure\technical writing certification and can obtain any other certifications that may be needed. I am currently working on obtaining CSP Certification as soon as possible.
