To whom it may concern,

I am interested in working as the Safety Manager for your Company. I am an expert in OSHA standards with over 25 years of experience to offer you. I am a Subject Matter Expert (SME) concerning confined spaces, respirators and heavy metals (Lead, cadmium, hexavalent chromium, etc.) /industrial hygiene, etc. I command respect with my knowledge and ability to train others.

My most recent work experience has been 18 continuous years of employment as a Safety Supervisor/Manger for a Marine and Industrial Company that performed Surface Preservation (Blast and Coat Operations). During my tenure; OSHA did a minimum of 7 inspections with zero SERIOUS citations; 3 years of ZERO Lost Time Accidents (1 year we had 1 for 1 day); EMR always below 1.0; No Fatalities; Two Insurance audits with no discrepancies; 10 SSPC QP-1 audits with zero safety discrepancies; This Company and I worked in many Confined Spaces, shipyard and industrial (Radford VA, Army Corps of Engineers); working at heights (NASA Gantry Crane and NNS 1050 ton Crane) with Heavy Metals (APL-50 conversion) documented Cr6 levels 11 times over the PEL, and Lead over the Action level); with high solid coating systems and steel-shot blast media; in many US states and shipyards.

I was responsible for the overall Safety, Health, Industrial Hygiene, Environmental, Workers’ Compensation, Training, and Worksite Inspections. I was the Program Manager and Company Certifier for ALL safety programs including Heavy metals/Industrial Hygiene; Confined Space Shipyard Competent Persons; Scaffold Qualified Persons; Grade “D” Breathing Air ; Respirator; Powered Industrial Vehicles; Fall Protection, Hazardous Communication and Personal Protective Equipment just to name a few.

I developed the Safety Manual for a spin-off company (Main Services, LLC) that was approved on its’ first review by ISNetworld, a company that oversees Oil Pipeline work. I worked with paint suppliers, MSDS, Doctors, employees, supervisors and management to plan, develop, implement, and monitor the High Solid Paint Rash Prevention Program (due to outbreaks within the company (and painter community). I developed the company Heat Stress Program including the daily checklist for all job sites. I developed the 52 week Toolbox Training Program with ONLY company specific programs. I developed the Super Notebook (and later CD) for Superintendents and Supervisors to have all safety required programs and forms in 1 place.

I have my US Navy DD-214 form available if requested. I have also taken advantage to enclose my resume to clarify my application. As the Safety Manager with your organization, I would bring added focus to safety, quality and production to your management and your employees.

I await your call or email to arrange an interview/accept position at a convenient time for you.

Thank you for your consideration.

Sincerely,

Joe Doherty(757) 372-1984 or (757) 679-8008josephdoherty544@gmail.com
