As a Limousine driver I meet lots of interesting people, including politicians, businessmen, athletes and movie stars, as I pick them up and take them to various destinations. Limousine driver’s must be patient and dependable and have customer service skills. A limo driver job description usually includes picking up clients and driving them to events and destinations such as weddings, meetings, celebrations, hotels and transportation centers. They also help clients load and unload luggage and carry these items into hotels and airports. At times, limo drivers might need to operate wheelchair lifts for elderly or disabled clients. They might work for hire for single trips, for a private business or citizen, or for a government agency.
Limo drivers are responsible for keeping their vehicles clean and stocking limousines with beverages and snacks. Most limousine drivers are responsible for coordinating the maintenance and repair for their vehicles. They must also stay up to date on all traffic laws. Driving and assisting passengers for long periods of time can get tedious and stressful for limousine drivers.

Safety Officer
Spotlight 29 Casino, Coachella, Ca
Coachella, Ca
01.2014 - 01.2018
A safety officer monitors workplace activities to ensure that workers comply with company policies and government safety regulations. The duties of this job vary by employer, but safety officers typically have responsibilities pertaining to policy development, safety inspections, safety training and compliance with the federal Occupational Safety & Health Administration, commonly known as OSHA.
Some safety officers, such as those in the construction industry, must have several years of field experience to qualify for this type of job.
Developing and implementing safety policies helps employers reduce accident-related costs and prevent losses due to a decline in productivity. The safety officer determines what policies are needed and solicits input from managers and workers. Once a policy has been finalized, the safety officer alerts workers about the change and monitors compliance. He may also ask each employee to sign a statement acknowledging receipt of the information.
Safety officers inspect interior and exterior work areas to determine if there are any safety hazards. During these inspections, a safety officer looks for broken equipment and damaged equipment, slip-and-fall hazards, and other potential hazards. The officer also observes workers to ensure that they are wearing required personal protective equipment and following company safety policies. In the construction industry, safety officers check the stability of scaffolding, ensure that workers use hard hats and protective footwear, and check to make sure employees operate construction equipment in a safe manner.
When a workplace accident occurs, a safety officer conducts an investigation to determine why the accident happened. The officer may question witnesses, inspect the accident scene, and take pictures of any property damage. Once the officer determines the cause of the accident, he writes a report detailing the cause and provides recommendations that can help prevent future accidents.
OSHA requires employers to provide training on dozens of safety topics. These include fire prevention plans, hazardous materials handling and machine guarding. Safety officers identify training needs, develop appropriate training programs, and deliver training to employees. They may also solicit feedback from workers and use that feedback to improve existing programs or create new ones.
