Our project for National Grid in Dorchester, Massachusetts consists of the modernization of their Commercial Point Plant. As Project Safety Manager, it is my responsibility to plan, organize, implement, and monitor the Kiewit Safety Management program at the project level. Prior to our site mobilization, I drafted and published this project's Nobody Gets Hurt - Standard Operating Procedure and helped with the revisions and submission of our projects HASP. The NGH - SOP integrates standards, policies, procedures and best practices from various districts within our company including Cherne Contracting, Kiewit Power Constructors, and the Infrastructure Eastern District. I have ownership of that plan and it is my responsibility to adequately communicate and implement the expectations detailed in that document. I perform project safety inspections and audits and appropriately communicate identified hazards, safety goals, and task-specific expectations with Kiewit craft and management employees as well as project management. Kiewit is committed to providing a safe working environment for our employees and others. Our employees are encouraged to continuously improve their safe work practices to eliminate unsafe acts and/or conditions. Those employees who share our commitment to safety deserve to have a work environment free of hazards created by those who willfully disregard safety rules. I feel I have a vast understanding of the proper regulatory record keeping requirements in addition to Kiewit safety administrative policies and procedures. - Site Inspections- Safety Audits- Site Safety and Health Officer- Client Relations- Safety Training- Incident Management and Investigation- Fall Protection Program Compliance- Confined Space Entry and Rescue Compliance- Air Monitoring- Indoctrination / Orientation

The project at Pilkington North America Inc. Glass Manufacturing facility located in Ottawa, Illinois consists of the design and construction of a new slip formed batch tower. As Project Safety Manager, It is my responsibility to plan, organize, implement, and monitor the TEI Safety Management program at the project level. Prior to our site mobilization, I drafted and published this project's Site Specific Safety Plan. This plan is implemented and enforced at the project level to ensure "Nobody Gets Hurt".

As a Safety Supervisor for Kiewit Power Constructors, I perform and am involved with the following roles and responsibilities on our VPP Star Site in Petersburg, Indiana. I perform regular safety inspection audits of a crews of 25-400 during a construction project of a power plant. I take part in conducting weekly safety meetings to remind employees of the importance of hazard awareness and what they can do to help prevent incidents as well as attend crew-specific "toolbox talks". The IEP Safety Department plays an active role in coaching crews on potential safety hazards they may face on a job to job basis and what practices they can utilize to avoid those hazards and protect them from injury. We maintain safe work environments through interaction with the employees during their work tasks and directing them away from hazards and encouraging them to bestow their knowledge upon others. I take part in investigating, reporting and recording all OSHA recordable incidents, reported near misses, and all other incidents and occurrences to discover the chain of events that led to the issue. A completion of the "5 Whys" and an RCA is then conducted. We make sure to thoroughly train all employees on how to use and understand the importance of gas monitors as related to confined space use as well as small tool and hand/portable tool use. Eighty percent or more of our work is performed in the field working hands-on in a one-on-one environment with the craft and labor employees.

As an Intern on the Zen-Noh Phase 2 Project, I enforced TEI safety policies, inspected fall protection, reported and investigated incidents. He also spent some time in the Home Office in Hopkins, MN performing various Safety Administration tasks. During my time spent traveling and in the home office, I had the opportunity to attend numerous beneficial trainings and EH&S conferences to further expand my knowledge of the industry.

The project at the Zen-Noh Grain export facility consists of a significant remodel of the upper distribution equipment including the demolition and construction of nine turn-heads and multiple conveyors. As a Safety Manager, I plan, organize, and implement the TEI Safety Management program at the project level. I have performed project safety inspections and audits and effectively communicated identified hazards, safety goals, and expectations with TEI craft and management employees and project management. I feel I have a vast understanding of regulatory record keeping requirements and TEI safety administrative procedures.

Elk Station Unit 1This project was considered a "Green Field Job" which means it was designed and built from the ground up as opposed to construction to an existing facility. Initially I was brought into the Southern District as some additional help during a major push of the project. Through gained experience and an opportunity to expand and utilize my skills, I was asked to remain on the project until it was turned over to the Start-Up Phase. Countless hours were spend working one-on-one with the craft employees to help aid and assist them in any way I could. I took this time to help coach guide and mentor all who were willing to listen; as well as a few that weren't so keen on the idea. Many crew members would seek my advice on various safety aspects of the job both prior and during the operation as a means of expertise to perform the work safely and efficiently. I was able to build a professional relationship and an excellent means of communication with the craft to help relate their work in more of a "Safety Sense" which provided me with a great advantage when working in the field. Ninety percent of my shift was spent with boots on the ground getting a first hand look of what field operations were all about.
