OBJECTIVE
I am interested in applying for a position as a Health & Safety Technician. My expertise lies in the design and implementation of safety programs for the Oil & Gas, Mining, and Construction industries as well as Refinery/Power generation facilities. The diverse background from which I have to draw on enables me to quickly adapt to any corporations needs or requirements. Additionally the, "Safety Coach" instead of "Safety Cop", approach I take to doing my job helps me to quickly build a solid rapport with the individuals I work with. Typically I work as an independent contractor, but prefer a direct hire position if available.
