LETTER OF INTRODUCTION
Please consider this letter of introduction as an expression of my interest in exploring and identifying Safety Management opportunities with your organization. I have enclosed my résumé for your review and consideration.
As shown on my résumé, I successfully completed the OSHA 511 & 510 training program and have gained practical safety management experience as a Safety Technician with James Luther, Inc. and as Sr. Safety Consultant with CSR Safety.
Although I have a thorough understanding of safety regulation compliance, I feel that compliance enforcement alone often does not fully achieve organizational safety objectives. I continuously strive to develop and implement safety programs and initiatives that go above and beyond the standards in order to protect personnel and facilities more effectively.
My success in my present position is defined by my dedication, team-approach, and strong interpersonal abilities. Skilled at identifying problem areas and recommending remedial action, I am also adept at building the individual commitment necessary to make a safety program successful. You will find me to be a dependable and hardworking professional who can solve tough problems and is attentive to detail.
Confident that the strength of my training and experience, combined with my dedication, energy, commitment, and attitude, will add measurable value to your organization, I would appreciate an opportunity to meet with you to discuss your needs and my potential to contribute as a team member. Thank you in advance for your attention, consideration, and forthcoming response.
Sincerely,
Michael Pippin
