I am well versed and educated in OSHA safety, NFPA safety, construction safety, the petrochemical safety process and able to teach, train and apply the safety processes in the work environment. I am very familiar with both the petrochemical, and commercial building project work processes and the core workings whether located within a refinery/chemical plant, a commercial site or office space within a building.
