Well here you go then.

A Safety Health and Environmental Graduate with 16 years experience in the hospitality industry, preparing and managing human, food and HACCP components of business. I also have 4 years in the Occupational Health & Safety, based in factory manufacturing and construction projects.

Over recent years I have gained experience in consulting with management, small business and subcontractors on safety and health at work. Experience gained includes the development of safety statements; method statements; risk assessment and operational manuals. Over the past 28 months I accepted a fulltime health and safety role with a manufacturing/construction company. The role undertaken is concerned with the development and progression of the organisations safety management system from written policy to active management. To date I have maintained the successful retention of the Safe-T-Cert Certification and attained CHAS registration for the organisation with whom I am presently employed. Furthermore, I have successfully managed safety on numerous construction projects for my present employer (private business projects, NHS, HSE, education department) including an eighteen million fast track school development (Educate Together) over four Dublin sites.


MAJOR ACHIEVEMENTS:

•Brought meaning and purpose to the organisations Safety Management Systems (achieving a sound basis from which to be inspected by state authority, other interested parties and provide physical proof of safety management for tendering requirements).

•Increased the safety level of staff and I am changing employee perception of safety and health at work, from that of corporate mitigation to genuine belief that their well being is paramount to the organisation.

•Successful career change, backed by accredited education.

•Held a successful pressured management role in the food sector of the Jurys Doyle Group.

•Successfully managed site safety on an 18 million euro (Educate Together) fast track school project throughout the Dublin region without reportable accidents or incidents
