Environment, Health and Safety is all about bringing about positive change. It is about looking at risks and daring to make the changes that will see the risk diminished. It is about understanding that we live in an imperfect world, where if we invest the pain of doing what is necessary and right from the beginning, we won't have to pay when time runs out. Here you'll find someone who likes to take initiative and make things happen. Someone who won't look away when the risks are there, someone who will tell you about where there is room for improvement, and then work with you to find an intelligent solution.
