ALTERNATIVE SAFETY SOLUTIONS INC (ASSI)

SAFETY COMPLIANCE AUDITOR, DECEMBER ‘02 – FEBRUARY ‘06

Contracted to conduct field safety audits and comprehensive internal audits for construction and manufacturing companies to ensure federal safety compliance. Reviewed hazardous material reports, incident reports, OSHA 300 logs and training records for document efficiency and qualitative assessments. Prepared video-free OSHA safety-training manuals, handouts and training exams for 15 to 60 employees. Traveled to job site, facilitated OSHA safety-training classes, and conducted job observations. Advised company management and supervisors on safety protocols to reduce loss time accidents and work related OHSA reportable incidents. Provided case management service for employers to ensure injured employees received sufficient medical treatment without the threat of work related insurance fraud and employer exploitation. Reduced employer annual insurance premiums on average 10% by reducing OSHA reportable incidents and work related insurance claims.

MEAD PAPER CORPORATION

UTILITIES PROCESS SAFETY ENGINEER, CONTAINERBOARD DIVISION, JUNE ‘97 - NOVEMBER ‘02

Provided technical engineering assistance and troubleshooting of operations to improve operating efficiency and operating cost, and to reduce downtime. Reviewed project designs and system modifications to ensure safe operating practices. Maintained water treatment systems to ensure optimum water quality and sufficient water quantity for mill areas.

• Coordinated and managed a $680,000 project to upgrade the influent water clarification system by 2.2 million gallons a day and achieve optimum water quality at less than .5 national turbidity units. Project reduced chemical consumption for water treatment; improved water quality supplied to mill areas and reduced system downtime.

• Organized and implemented a $300,000 a year chemical treatment program for the sludge dewatering process. The chemical application increased the dryness and the heating value of the sludge creating a more efficient process. The new treatment program resulted in an annual savings of $280,000.

• Enhanced sludge dewatering capability by mixing a waste acid stream with the reclaimed sludge. The low pH waste acid helped to rupture the cell walls of the organic sludge material, which improved the drying capability and reduce the chemical addition by 15%. Utilizing the waste acid eliminated the need to buffer with caustic and discharge to the process sewer. This redirection of resources resulted in a $250,000 a year savings on raw material costs.

• Developed an automated program to reduce the sodium carbonate consumption in a sulfur dioxide scrubber. Through the use of six-sigma methodology and project management, optimum-scrubbing efficiency was achieved and the chemical consumption was reduced by 1.8 gallons per minute equaling an annual savings of $116,000. The chemical reduction balanced the mill liquor cycle. The six-sigma project was accepted by TAPPI resulting in a published paper detailing the scrubbing and chemical reduction process.

• Coordinated and managed multiple chemical cleaning projects consisting of package boilers, waste fuel boilers, long tube vertical evaporators, re-boiler, air cooler and sand filters. Equipment, chemical and manpower costs totaled greater than $150,000 delivering higher heating values, lower flue gas temperatures, increased sulfur dioxide removal, particulate removal, design flow rates and pressures, lower temperature differentials, and efficient process operation.

• Managed contracted hydro-blasting and vacuum services during outages which entailed providing project scope, reviewing proposed bids, negotiating price, determining equipment and manpower needs, supervising crews of 35 men or less on 12 hours shifts, inspecting work and delivering systems to plant operators within time allotted. The contracted services rendered were in excess of $2,250,000 over 4 years.

• Coordinated and supervised 40-hour / week on-site industrial services team. An annual contract of $300,000 was awarded to the selected contractor. The contract recipient has a daily work regiment and also responds to emergency situations. The establishment of this contract saved the division approximately $380,000 a year in shared services expenses.

PROCESS SAFETY MANAGEMENT ENGINEER, HUMAN ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION DEPT., MAY ’95-MAY ’97
