Director of Safety
PosiGen
New Orleans, LA
“Safety Mike” initiated a comprehensive safety initiative that significantly reduced the company’s total recordable incident rate by 60%. He accomplished this through a multifaceted approach, including regular safety meetings that he leads to disseminate critical information and foster a culture of safety among employees. Additionally, he takes a hands-on approach by leading from the front lines during safety inspections, identifying potential hazards and implementing corrective measures promptly. His proactive leadership and dedication to safety have not only yielded measurable improvements in our safety metrics but also instilled a greater sense of awareness and responsibility among our workers.
