Last Updated: Saturday, June 7, 2008

Qualified safety engineer with a proven international track record. Has demonstrated, through a successful 6-year health and safety engineering career, his ability to lead poorly performing facilities to top quartile performance. His experience at corporate, division and facility levels internationally, with emphasis on petrochemical, oil and gas operations, refinery production facilities, construction projects, and mining operations, are unparalleled.

He is an expert in occupational health, safety, environmental and safety management, safety auditing, accident / incident investigation, hazard identification, and process safety. His many accomplishments in the management of risks to people and high-value property assets are noteworthy. His challenges in tackling poor performing assets by providing on-target expert health and safety guidance have been his forte. He has excelled – where others have failed - in quickly identifying health and safety gaps and then providing measurable solutions to facilitate near term safety performance successes.
