Profile
As a Certified Occupational Safety Specialist (COSS). I am a seasoned Health Safety Environmental (HSE) Manager with 16 years of experience. I’ve provided direction and supervision in construction, oil & gas, and pipeline industries. I have successfully led and directed HSE teams, resulting in a significant reduction in incidents and injuries. My expertise in leading a team in developing and implementing behavior-based safety programs, comprehensive safety policies, and defensive driving programs has consistently driven down incidents by up to 72%. I have a proven track record in controlling workers compensation costs by focusing on case management, liability reduction, and regulatory compliance. My strong focus on case management and safety leadership has led to a substantial decrease in employee accidents. With a commitment to safety and extensive knowledge of OSHA compliance, risk analysis, and management control systems, I am well-equipped to excel as an QHSE Safety Professional for your company.
