Overview

Overview

CAREER SUMMARY

NEBOSH Diploma qualified Health, Safety and Environmental Consultant, chartered member of the Institution of Occupational Safety & Health (CMIOSH) and member of the Occupational Safety & Health Consultant’s Register. Founding director of commercially focused HS&E Consultancy with a proven ability to deliver innovative, high quality solutions for office environments, production, manufacturing, construction contracting, chemical, food, facilities & property management, health-care, social housing, warehousing and IT sectors. Highly motivated, technically proficient, self-starter with excellent communication & influencing skills. Equally suited to working in team environments as well as autonomously managing solo projects to completion.

SKILLS OVERVIEW

· Integrated Safety Management System Design & Implementation (incl. OHSAS18001, ISO14001 / 9001)

· Risk Assessment / Fire Risk Assessment / Risk Control System implementation & maintenance

· Training (delivery of NEBOSH General Certificate courses / IOSH Managing & Working Safety)

· E-Learning (Use of Adobe Captivate to create interactive, modern learning packages)

· Auditing (legislative compliance audits / BS, ISO gap analysis / Construction project H&S inspections)

· Provision of competent person service, board level KPI reporting, business planning, PQQ & bid support

· External liaison with HSE Inspectors / internal liaison with legal counsel during investigation activity

I am a chartered member of the Institution of Occupational Safety and Health (CMIOSH) with extensive experience in safety management system development (H&S and Environmental), training, and auditing, including OHSAS18001 implementation. I have recently formed my own H&S Consultancy with the aim of providing H&S solutions for business in my local area.

In addition to the topics mentioned above, AJB42 Consulting Ltd specialise in modern, creatively designed training solutions, including interactive E-Learning courses developed and built specifically for individual business needs. Health & Safety is a legal responsibility and it is important that business understands what it needs to do. Time (and money) spent proactively dealing with any issues will vastly outweigh the impact of an incident or accident that attracts regulatory interest, results in time off work or an unwelcome insurance claim. At AJB42 Consulting Ltd we firmly believe in the concept of sensible risk management - the right amount of H&S for a given business. We don't do red tape and we don't just tick boxes. We endeavour to provide clients with timely, professional and competent solutions, delivering what they need, with our own creative visual touch wherever possible.
