Occupational Safety and Health: Blood-Borne Pathogens

My skills and areas of expertise have been developed though a unique career path that has afforded me many non-traditional opportunities for learning and advancement. I have over 25 years of experience in areas including Project Management, Labor Relations, Occupational Safety and Health and Training & Education. This experience includes a unique combination of senior management roles in industry, director level and senior consultant positions with industry trade associations, and educational opportunities as a faculty member in the Fulton Schools of Engineering at Arizona State University. I established the OSHA Training Institute (OTI) Education Center at ASU and produced and delivered many of the OTI Ed Center courses in both construction and general industry. I believe that safety, productivity and quality are inextricably linked, and that safety and health management must be incorporated as an integral part of any successful company management program. Besides being a recognized leader in occupational safety and health, I am an expert in the field of prestressed concrete, having led the industry in the development and implementation of various training and certification programs and publishing numerous articles and manuals on the topic. Additional activities have included the development and delivery of academic courses and training programs along with the publication of white papers and articles in areas including occupational safety and health, construction management, and post-tensioned concrete. My current interests are focused on continuing education for the construction management professional and serving in a role that affords me the opportunity to continue to transfer knowledge that relates to the integration of safety, productivity and quality into the work force.
