COVER LETTER
I am writing to express my interest in a position within Health, Safety, Environmental (HSE) Risk Management and Training. With over 16 years of experience in the oil and gas industry, I have led numerous safety initiatives, reduced incident rates, and ensured compliance with regulatory standards. My ability to cultivate a strong safety culture and implement effective risk management strategies positions me as a valuable asset to any organization.
In my previous roles, I successfully reduced the Total Recordable Incident Rate (TRIR) from 1.73 to 0 over a three-year period by leading safety audits, developing training programs, and mentoring employees and contractors. I also managed environmental remediation projects, conducted incident investigations, and ensured adherence to state and federal regulations. My experience in root cause analysis (using methods like Cause Mapping and 5-Why’s) has allowed me to address underlying issues, prevent reoccurrences, and improve operational efficiency. Some of my key contributions include:
Safety Audits & Regulatory Compliance: I have conducted and led thousands of safety audits across diverse operational environments, including drilling, production, completions, and pipeline operations. My ability to identify hazards, ensure compliance with OSHA and other regulatory standards, and implement corrective actions has minimized risks and reinforced safety cultures within teams.
Environmental Leadership: I have successfully managed numerous environmental remediation projects, including spill response, remediation, and coordination with regulatory agencies such as the Texas Railroad Commission. My focus on proactive environmental stewardship has minimized both legal and environmental risks, ensuring that operations are conducted in line with best practices.
Training & Development: I have developed and facilitated HSE training programs for hundreds of employees and contractors, ensuring that teams are equipped with the necessary knowledge and skills to operate safely. As a certified Smith System Driver Trainer, I have also driven improvements in driver safety and overall operational safety standards.
Incident Investigation & Risk Mitigation: My expertise in root cause analysis, utilizing methods such as ThinkReliability’s Cause Mapping and 5-Why’s, has allowed me to investigate incidents thoroughly, implement preventive measures, and ensure lessons learned are integrated into future operations.
I am confident that my expertise in HSE leadership, risk mitigation, and regulatory compliance would contribute positively to your organization’s goals. I would appreciate the opportunity to discuss how my background aligns with your needs.
Sincerely,
Shane Glassey
