  Environment Health & Safety Specialist

  Revised teaching laboratory course manuals to reduce the hazardous waste generated by fifty percent overall with more than an eighty percent reduction in specific courses. By working as a team with the faculty and staff, we have dramatically improved the hazardous materials management practices and safety awareness in the teaching laboratories and preparation areas. Over the course of my tenure I have developed specialized management and health & safety training for the students, laboratory staff and faculty, resulting in our attaining a significant level of regulatory compliance. Other projects include inventory control, hazard identification, chemical hygiene plan creation and implementation, ergonomic assessment and stress reduction. The laboratories are significantly safer and better managed as a result of these efforts. Show less
