Highly organized safety professional ensuring compliance across job sites.
What I'm looking for
I am a highly organized safety professional with a keen attention to detail, dedicated to monitoring and ensuring compliance at multiple job sites. My extensive experience in safety management has equipped me with the skills to interpret and evaluate compliance status reports, ensuring alignment with current company, state, and federal regulations.
In my current role as an Area Safety Manager at Walmart, I assist in investigations of accidents and injuries, focusing on root cause analysis. I work closely with facility and Fleet personnel to ensure DOT operational compliance and facilitate training for Fleet Safety elements. My previous experience as an EHS Specialist at Coca-Cola Bottling Company allowed me to develop and implement strategies that significantly reduced workplace injuries and ensured compliance with regulatory and internal policies.
Throughout my career, I have consistently demonstrated my ability to develop and deploy effective EHS awareness and compliance training programs. I am passionate about fostering a culture of safety and compliance, and I actively participate in industry organizations to stay current on technologies, processes, and regulations.
