Mr Simon Matthews
CMIOSH
Overview
I am a believer in sensible safety management, and the promotion of good safety management leading to culture improvements by using clear communication.
After studying Environmental Science in university, I began my career as the environmental advisor with the principle contractor on what was at the time the largest construction project in Europe, an LNG terminal in west Wales a joint venture between Exxon Mobil and Qatar Gas.
During my time in this role I wanted to further my career and self-funded the NEBOSH General and Fire Certificates, before moving onto the NEBOSH specialist Diploma in Environmental Management, and finally the NEBOSH Safety Diploma.
In addition to the safety and environmental qualifications listed above I have also completed industry focussed training for example the SMSTS qualification, which enabled with my safety qualifications to obtain the professional CSCS card. More recently I have also completed the five day fire risk assessment course to compliment my NEBOSH fire certificate.
With a city & guilds in water management and the P402 asbestos surveying qualification, i can also offer building managers the option of a complete monitoring and management system.
I have been fortunate enough to work with globally recognised companies such as CB&I, BP, Exxon Mobil and Ford Motor Company, and UK brands such as First Milk in positions ranging from HSE Advisor to regional HSE Manager (UK & Europe). Currently operating as a consultant through my own business ‘Pembrokeshire Safety Services’ offering health, safety and environmental support to UK business.
please feel free to contact me to discuss any opportunity for which you think i may be able to support your business.
