Elevating your company's safety culture through mentoring, process improvement & training. I have an ability to make people want to work safely. I approach safety with a positive spin. I believe that safety should be all encompassing. No matter where you are at work or at play. Always ask yourself “am I doing this project in the safest way possible"? Management participation is essential. I'll work with our management team ensuring efficient & safe operations.I served in the United States Navy for 20 years, where among my other duties, I began my safety career. I retired from the Navy in 1999, and began working for the Washington Department of Transportation as a Safety Officer, and later for Washington Labor and Industries, as Safety Compliance Officer.For the past 14 years I have worked in private industry. I was involved in the seismic refit and rehabilitation of the Washington State Capitol as Safety Engineer following the Nisqually earthquake. I then worked as Safety Engineer at Beacon Hill for the Sound Transit light rail project. At Brightwater sewage treatment project, I began as a Safety Engineer and was later promoted to Safety Manager where I was responsible for over 250,000 labor hours annually. My company received worldwide recognition as tunneling contractor of the year. I am a hardworking, conscientious professional. I possess an ability to connect with project leadership as well as with our work force.Sincerely,Rick SuttonSafety ProgramsAccident InvestigationsSafety PlansSubcontractor safetySite Specific SafetyAccident preventionSafety regulationsFall from heightsPotential hazardsConfined space entry
