A practitioner, not a presenter.
I started on construction sites in the late 1990s — the kind of environments where safety paperwork lived in the site office and real control lived in the superintendent's head. In the years since, I've helped clients move between those two worlds in both directions: tightening informal operations into certifiable management systems, and rescuing over-engineered systems that were strangling the operators they were meant to protect.
Along the way I earned the full slate of senior HSE credentials — CSP · CRSP · CMIOSH · PMP · NEBOSH IDip · ISO 45001 LA — a combination held by a few hundred consultants worldwide. They matter less for the letters than for the body of examined practice they represent. When a client asks about PSM versus ISO 45001 integration, about TapRooT versus ICAM, about the specific language their auditors want to see — I've been on both sides of that conversation.
“The best safety programmes feel inevitable from the inside — everyone knows where to look, what to do, who to call. My job is to design systems that feel that way by year two.”
In 2021 I began integrating AI into my practice in a disciplined way — no vendor evangelism, no dashboard-for-dashboard's-sake. Concrete deployments: computer-vision PPE compliance on active construction zones, LLM-assisted risk-assessment drafting for technical writers, predictive near-miss analytics for maintenance leads. Each carries a payback model before the first model is trained.
Today my practice has three pillars. Strategic HSE advisory — board-level reporting, fractional leadership, 90-day roadmaps. Certification coaching — structured CSP, CRSP, NEBOSH IDip cohorts with an 85%+ first-time pass rate. AI and digital transformation — because the HSE role is about to change more in the next five years than it has in the last fifteen, and I want my clients ahead of that curve.
I take on a limited number of engagements each year. If you're a GCC operator or an international programme running a giga-scale project, the fastest way to see if we're a fit is a short call.
