Francis Sackey
@francissackey
QHSE and HSE manager specializing in ISO 45001 systems, training, and site safety.
What I'm looking for
I’m a highly motivated professional driven by success, quality, and commitment, with a strong foundation in administrative work, data analysis, occupational health and safety, and field supervision. I bring proficiency across Microsoft tools plus practical strengths in report writing, supervision, and clear communication.
As a QHSE Manager, I create HSE documentation from scratch—building policies, management systems, and SOPs—to attain ISO 45001. I manage all sites under my company’s operation, implement and enforce QHSE management systems and policies, oversee QHSE officers, and handle weekly and monthly QHSE reporting. I also facilitate PPE distribution and lead inductions and on-site trainings.
Previously, as an HSE Manager on a major project at SunPower Innovations Ltd (New Bank of Ghana Head Office project), I supervised safety officers and supported the consistent implementation of safety policies and best practices. I worked on project HSE documentation, ran induction and on-site training, ensured PPE distribution, and produced weekly and monthly HSE updates.
I’ve also served as Head of Health, Safety, Security and Environment and earlier as an HSE Supervisor/Officer, where I managed multi-site operations, conducted safety trainings and toolbox meetings, supported risk assessment, and ensured employees complied with safety rules. Across my career, I aim to improve my competence through continuous safety at the workplace—working efficiently with determination, patriotism, honesty, commitment, and hard work.
