Michael Mayfield
@michaelmayfield
I lead multi-site EHS programs that reduce injuries, strengthen compliance, and improve manufacturing safety performance.
United StatesWhat I'm looking for
I've led environmental, safety, health, security, and workers' compensation programs for major manufacturing organizations including Enersys, Mars Wrigley Manufacturing, Hayes-Lemmerz International, and Kubota Manufacturing of America.
At Enersys, I led ESH operations across nine facilities, reducing lost workdays from 127 to zero and workers' compensation claims by 80%. I implemented programs for lockout/tagout, work at heights, forklift safety, medical surveillance, contractor management, emergency response, ISO 14001, lithium battery handling, and hazardous-waste disposal.
At Mars Wrigley, I improved the OSHA Total Incident Rate from 5.8 to 0.0 and helped achieve eight consecutive years without lost-time injuries. I also launched the site’s first combustible dust and behavioral-based safety programs, managed construction safety during expansions, and reduced hazardous-waste costs by 30%.
Throughout my career, I've built practical safety frameworks, trained workforces, investigated incidents, managed regulatory reporting, and partnered with operations and engineering to make compliance part of continuous improvement.
