NetherlandsWhat I'm looking for
I am an EHS and laboratory professional with a background in industrial chemistry and extensive hands-on experience setting up and operating research laboratories. I have coordinated laboratory commissioning, defined operational procedures, and managed inventory, chemical handling, and hazardous waste to maintain safe, compliant operations.
I have led risk assessments, incident and near-miss investigations, and implemented corrective and preventive actions while supporting audits and regulatory compliance (including PGS-15). I deliver and develop safety training, mentor staff, and manage technical documentation such as MSDS updates.
My strengths include practical implementation of safety systems, continuous improvement through inspections and Lean principles, and supporting safe use of laboratory equipment. I bring a prevention-focused mindset, solid regulatory knowledge, and proven experience in both startup and established lab environments.
