About

As a safety professional, I'm committed to giving back to society by bringing a human touch to heavy industries and protecting workers from pain. My journey began after witnessing a road accident that inspired me to leave behind my construction project management job and focus on tactical management that would improve the lives of my subordinates and co-workers. With my background in construction and engineering, I can understand both sides of the coin and act intuitively. I've learned valuable lessons in managing people, understanding their perspective, and developing human-centric policies, and I find great fulfillment in my career as it gives me a sense of purpose. My ultimate goal is to ensure that corporations prioritize safety over profit, and I'm grateful for the opportunity to make a meaningful impact on society. My experience in the Oil and Gas Industry has been invaluable, providing me with hands-on experience in hazard identification, incident investigation, and safety program implementation. I've conducted job hazard analyses, risk assessments, and root cause analyses, allowing me to take a proactive approach to preventing accidents and injuries. I'm familiar with industry-specific regulations, such as the Occupational Health and Safety Act and the Construction Projects Regulation. In my current role as a EHS Manager for Bunge Canada, Alberta based company, I work closely with management and employees to develop and implement safety policies, programs, and procedures. I conduct safety audits, inspections, and assessments to ensure compliance with all Health and Safety regulations. My background in construction and engineering has given me the knowledge and experience to assess and mitigate risks associated with these industries, ensuring that workers are safe and healthy on the job.
