Gary Smith - Senior Director, Field Operations
Thursday, December 10, 2020 Natalie Salem
The landscape for the Safety Professional and for EHS Companies is rapidly changing. Keeping up with ever increasing regulations while not losing focus on our core responsibilities is not only fundamental to our success, it challenges us to remember why we do what we do; Keep our workers safe.
The OSEA Safety team is certainly among the best in the business. This is especially true of our field staff of RSPs (Resident Safety Professionals). Each of their assignments is a different challenge, requiring their total effort and expertise. As their work site responsibilities become more demanding, we needed to give them all the tools and support necessary to guarantee their success as a front-line resource for worker health and safety.
Due to the growth of OSEA and our projects, we are proud to announce the promotion of Gary Smith to head up our field support operations as our new Senior Director of Field Operations. Reporting directly to the President of the company, Gary will have all recourses necessary to fully support our field team.
When asked what he sees the role of Senior Director to be, he offers “it will be different with each client, with each of our Safety Professionals, with each environment. I’m the extra set of eyes, ears, and even nose. Sometimes as a coach, sometimes as a caddy, sometimes just a sounding board. But always a direct resource for whatever our people need.” Ensuring for our clients they get the best of our company’s expertise and support. “For our clients, it means they get extra support and peace of mind knowing OSEA provides quality services and invests in their people”.
