Summary
Adept in safety program development and crisis management, I significantly enhanced workplace safety and environmental compliance at DEVA Holding. My ability to foster teamwork and collaboration, coupled with excellent communication skills, led to a notable improvement in safety performance metrics. Additionaly, I developed a safety culture model that incorporates top management and executives into health and safety practices. I successfully implemented numerous safety culture dissemination practices with my 13-member HSE team. These initiatives included a behavior-based safety management system model, safety walks with managers, and a variety of awareness activities such as creative drama, games, and competitions.
