Industries

Construction and EPC, manufacturing, healthcare, film and television, oil and gas, battery energy storage and utility-scale solar, and mining above and below ground.

Where I work

California is home base. I also work across the Western states — Montana, Oregon, Washington, Idaho, Utah, Wyoming, New Mexico, Colorado, North Dakota and South Dakota — on the strength of federal qualifications that carry across state lines and twenty-five years of working under other states’ rules.

Longer engagements

Several client engagements ran long enough to function as staff roles, embedded with the client’s operations: Largo Concrete, United Dwelling, Safety Dynamics, Axiom Medical and Remote Medical among them.

Utility-scale energy

Corporate environmental and EHS work on battery energy storage and solar generation projects in California, Washington, Colorado and New Mexico, on the construction and commissioning side. The employer and the project names are withheld deliberately. Written programs authored for an employer belong to that employer.

Expert and forensic work

I am retained by counsel in workplace injury and fatality matters — machine guarding and lockout, falls, powered equipment, excavation, multi-employer worksites, and exposure cases. Engagements include site inspection, document review, written findings, and testimony.

Redacted case studies are published on the business site. A curriculum vitae is provided to retaining counsel on request.

Writing and peer review

Contributor to the Journal of Occupational and Environmental Medicine and reviewer for the American College of Occupational and Environmental Medicine.
