Health and Safety Advisor

A self-motivated and hard working NEBOSH qualified Health & Safety Advisor with seven years experience in the health and safety field and thirteen years as a Mechanical Engineer in the Royal Air Force.

A fully qualified Health & Safety practitioner (Awaiting IOSH accreditation) and my main area of expertise is in the completion of risk assessments and the implementation of new working practices designed to improve safety standards and ensure statutory compliance. I have been involved in the investigation of accidents and incidents on-site and have made subsequent recommendations to avoid the occurrence of similar issues. I have also designed and delivered health and safety training to both managers and employees. I now wish to develop my career further, and am therefore looking for a new and suitably challenging position.

I believe that my key qualities are my excellent interpersonal skills and strong communicative ability, combined with my talent for effective organisation and prioritisation. I see myself as a highly dedicated and strongly driven individual.
