What I'm looking for

I am looking for a role that allows me to further develop my safety expertise while contributing to a company's commitment to workplace safety and compliance.

I am a Safety Officer with a Diploma in Occupational Health and Safety from Ba Isago University, currently pursuing a degree in the same field at Boitekanelo College. My experience spans over four years, during which I have honed my skills in risk assessment, compliance, and accident prevention. I have a proven track record of maintaining safety regulations and improving workplace safety standards.

In my recent role as a SHE Officer at LEKTU Enterprises, I conducted thorough investigations into work-related accidents, leading to a 20% reduction in incidents through proactive safety initiatives. My responsibilities included hazard identification and safety risk assessment audits, ensuring compliance with safety regulations, and promoting a culture of safety within the organization. My previous internship at Champs Botswana Pty Ltd allowed me to design training programs that enhanced safety awareness, implement a hazard reporting system, and manage hazardous waste disposal effectively.
