Summary
With several years of experience in the mining industry, I have witnessed firsthand the critical importance of workplace safety and how preventable incidents occur due to lapses in health and safety protocols. My background in mining, combined with experience in traffic control, has strengthened my situational awareness and commitment to risk mitigation.
Currently completing my degree in aviation, I have focused on safety management, engineering principles, and accident analysis, particularly in mining environments where safety standards vary significantly across sites. I am passionate about identifying gaps in safety practices and implementing proactive solutions to improve workplace conditions.
Set on becoming a Senior Health and Safety Officer in a large corporation, I am eager to apply my expertise in safety prevention and incident reporting. Upon graduating at the end of 2025, I will be ready for full-time employment starting January 2026, bringing a strong foundation in health and safety management to my next role.
Completing a two-year graduate program will provide invaluable hands-on training, refining my incident assessment skills while gaining direct insight into workplace safety concerns from employees across various operational areas.
