When developing EHS programs in a manufacturing setting, I begin by assessing current practices and identifying areas for improvement. Engaging with employees to understand their challenges is key. I prioritize compliance with regulations while fostering a proactive safety culture through training and regular communication.

In my past roles, I have led multiple environmental audits, focusing on compliance with all relevant regulations. I emphasize thorough documentation and engage my team to identify risks and areas for improvement, ensuring corrective actions are implemented and communicated effectively.

Creating a culture of safety involves continuous engagement with employees, offering regular training, and encouraging open communication about safety matters. I work to build trust with the workforce so they feel empowered to report hazards and participate in safety initiatives enthusiastically.

When regulatory changes occur, I prioritize continuous monitoring of compliance requirements. I conduct thorough assessments of the new regulations, communicate necessary updates to my team, and adjust our EHS policies proactively to ensure compliance and maintain safety standards.

During an incident investigation, I focus on a systematic analysis that involves interviewing witnesses and gathering evidence. I utilize root cause analysis methods to identify underlying issues and develop corrective actions to prevent future occurrences while keeping communication transparent throughout the process.

I stay updated with OSHA and EPA regulations by regularly subscribing to industry newsletters, participating in training sessions, and attending relevant seminars. I actively network with other EHS professionals to share insights and best practices to ensure compliance in my organization.
