As a skilled trainer, I teach and coach supervisors on the five essential needs of supervision as outlined by Training Within Industry (TWI), empowering them to lead effectively and drive team success.

• Knowledge of the Work: Supervisors must understand the technical aspects, processes, and tasks their team performs to provide clear guidance and ensure operational efficiency.

• Knowledge of Responsibilities: Supervisors need clarity on their roles, company policies, and expectations to make informed decisions and maintain accountability.

• Skill in Instructing: Effective supervisors train employees using structured methods like TWI’s Job Instruction, ensuring tasks are performed correctly and safely.

• Skill in Improving Methods: Supervisors analyze and optimize work processes by eliminating waste and implementing better methods to boost productivity and quality.

• Skill in Leading: Strong leadership fosters trust, motivates teams, and builds positive relationships, creating an engaged and collaborative work environment.

I guide organizations in building a robust safety culture by designing engaging systems with tangible, measurable outcomes that drive active participation among supervisors and craft employees, significantly enhancing safety when everyone understands what matters, why it matters, and how it’s measured.

• Clear Safety Priorities: I help establish well-defined safety goals, ensuring employees at all levels know what’s critical to maintaining a safe workplace.

• Engaging Communication: I create strategies to communicate the “why” behind safety practices, fostering buy-in and commitment from supervisors and craft workers.

• Tangible Metrics: I develop measurable safety indicators, such as incident rates or training completion, to track progress and provide visible results.

• Supervisory Empowerment: I coach supervisors to lead by example, reinforcing safety protocols and motivating teams through consistent engagement.

• Craft Employee Involvement: I design systems that encourage craft workers to actively participate in safety initiatives, creating a collaborative culture where safety thrives.

I help companies build simple work process systems to achieve OSHA compliance with ease. As a subject matter expert, I support OSHA investigations, guide informal hearings, and focus on preventing and defending against citations.

• Simplified Compliance Systems: I design streamlined processes that integrate OSHA requirements, making compliance straightforward and sustainable.

• OSHA Investigation Support: I guide companies through OSHA investigations, ensuring proper documentation and communication to mitigate risks.

• Subject Matter Expertise: As an expert in OSHA cases and informal hearings, I provide strategic advice to navigate complex regulatory challenges.

• Citation Prevention and Defense: I prioritize proactive measures to avoid citations and offer robust defense strategies to contest them effectively.

I mentor safety professionals in organizations of all sizes, sharing my expertise to enhance their skills, teaching TWI principles and basic safety management, and guiding them along their career paths to strengthen the entire organization’s safety culture. Through personalized coaching, I empower safety teams with practical tools, public speaking confidence, and strategic insights to lead effectively and inspire others.

I coach and mentor organizations and project teams to adopt Lean Construction Institute (LCI) principles, empowering them to identify and eliminate the eight types of waste with a focus on enhancing safety. With my Lean Six Sigma Green Belt and experience at two top-ten U.S. construction companies, I provide training and guidance to help teams develop their own strategies for safer, more efficient construction projects.

• Defects: I train teams to recognize and address errors in construction processes, enabling them to prevent rework that could lead to safety risks like falls or equipment issues.

• Overproduction: I mentor teams to apply Just-In-Time principles, helping them identify ways to avoid excess materials that clutter sites and create trip hazards.

• Waiting: I coach teams to optimize workflows, guiding them to reduce idle time and prevent rushed tasks that heighten accident risks.

• Non-Utilized Talent: I guide leaders to engage all team members’ insights, fostering a safety-first culture through collaborative hazard identification.

• Transportation: I train teams to streamline material and equipment movement, helping them minimize handling that could cause injuries or incidents.

• Inventory: I mentor teams to implement Just-In-Time inventory management, enabling them to reduce excess stock that obstructs safe pathways.

• Motion: I coach teams to enhance site layouts using 5S principles, guiding them to cut wasted movements and reduce ergonomic risks.

• Extra Processing: I train teams to identify and eliminate redundant steps, ensuring tasks are efficient and safety-focused to minimize fatigue and hazards.
