Travis Smith Email & Phone Number

My entire professional career has revolved around helping people. In my Paramedic years, this involved caring/treating for the sick or injured and then I transitioned from public safety to EHS (Ag Safety) and have spend the last 20 years helping build and advance a strong safety culture to ultimately reduce workplace injuries and keep employees, workers & contractors out of the clinics, hospitals and those ambulances that I once worked within.Feel like my leadership skills and interpersonal communications lend to the ability to relate/connect with workers/employees on the floor and/or in the field. This is essential in building relationships/trust with employees and getting them to embrace the safety message of a given company. I have been through many leadership courses over the years that have helped put tools in my toolbox.Work History summary (Not all-inclusive):20 years in EHS (9 at the site level and the last 11 in corporate/regional roles).28 yers in position which involve leading and managing people.Experience in supporting multiple facilities on EHS.Interacted with many levels of an organization.Experience with helping develop and roll out NA EHS strategies each year.Personal Safety is my strongest area of expertise.SME for lockout/tagout.
