Acquired ISO 14001 certification for the Westfield facility and planned industrial hygiene monitoring (oil particulates, silica, dust). Improved customer shipping satisfaction by 21% and increased workplace efficiency by using time studies that reduced production time per part by 35 minutes.

Reduced ISO 14001 audit findings from six nonconformities to zero in one audit cycle by implementing a risk assessment program and leading multi-site safety audits. Reduced OSHA recordables from 26 to 6 per year and led design of an oil-water separation system that reclaimed 500 gallons of oil per week, lowering wastewater surcharges by $5,000+ per month.

Reduced the company’s injury rate by 40% through a drug monitoring program and created site-specific safety plans for 13 industrial facilities.

Planned and scheduled waste shipments (universal and RCRA) and managed a 90-day hazardous waste storage area, maintaining zero notices and zero violations during two EPA inspections.
