Chemical Engineer - Occupational Safety Specialist
Izmir/Karşıyaka
Summary
I started my career at Petrol Office as the LPG responsible manager. Here, I can say that I have created the building blocks of the occupational safety specialist that I am doing now. At my second workplace, Batısoke Soke Cement Co, I had the opportunity to deal with almost all issues of occupational safety legislation. Working as a field occupational safety engineer for about a year allowed me to learn the occupational safety process. I benefited a lot from my process knowledge while managing field occupational safety risks. The representation of ISO 18001 Occupational Health and Safety Management System provided an opportunity to develop by learning international management system standards.
My involvement in all processes of the integrated management system at Philip Morris Tobacco Products Co IFMS Project has provided great experience in many areas such as machinery, logistics, sanitation, general cleaning, waste area processes, technical services, utility and equipment. The biggest contribution of this situation to me was to learn field practices, to examine international studies and to increase my awareness of occupational safety. I still continue to develop myself and machine safety, training and reporting processes are among my areas of interest.
To seek and maintain full-time position that offers professional challenges utilizing interpersonal skills, excellent time management and problem-solving skills.
