Certified Industrial Hygienist
United Cleanup Oak Ridge
Oak Ridge, TN
As a silica and asphalt subject matter expert, Ryan led a continuous improvement initiative to develop a hot-asphalt paving exposure assessment that exceeds generally accepted industry practices. Assessment results were used to determine allowable exposure times and establish controls to prevent overexposure to asphalt fumes. As a conduct of operations coach for waste management and nuclear operations, Ryan had a positive impact on reducing the number of nonconforming operational events.
