Lance Beard is a Senior Environmental Health and Safety Specialists at La-Z-Boy at La-Z-Boy Southeast. Colleagues describe him as "Lance was an incredible wealth of knowledge and guidance to me in my Safety career. I was trained directly by him for almost a year and then mentored by him for over 4 years. If I had a question or needed guidance on an issue he was always available to help me identify the problem and get it corrected. The man is a walking CFR manual in his brain... however... more IMPORTANTLY...he knows how to articulate that knowledge in manner all layman can understand! That is a very RARE trait in safety professionals! Any company would be very lucky to have him on their team! As a knowledge base and as a leader!" and "I've know Lance for 3 years and he has proven himself to be an effective leader during his long and distinguished career in the Air Force. He is a leader who will accept no less than the best from those he works with and I've witnessed his motivation and willingness to serve others while we were assigned to Hurlburt Field Air Force Base in FL. During that time Lance served over 500 personnel employing safety measures across a very large construction organization. He was the best of the best then and he continues to lead regardless of where he is placed. I would recommend Lance to any organization or employer. One would be hard pressed to find job candidates of Lance's caliber and he could transform any work center into a safe and productive team."
