I volunteered to be on the FireSafe Council in order to give back to my community. Having been in the field of occupational safety and health for over 30 years, I understand the need to complete risk assessments, identify gaps that can lead to injuries, illnesses and/or incidents, and determine risk controls needed to prevent loss. This background is a natural fit towards helping residents reduce the risk of loss due to wildfires.”
