Founder & Principal HSE Documentation Specialist

HSE360UMAR Safety Solutions • Self-employed

Jan 2023 - Present • 3 yrs 4 mos

As the Founder and Principal HSE Consultant at HSE360 Safety Solutions, I lead a premier global health and safety consultancy specializing in high-stakes technical documentation. Over the years, I have successfully partnered with hundreds of international clients—ranging from principal contractors and civil engineering firms to multinational corporate entities across the United States, United Kingdom, Australia, Canada, New Zealand, and the Middle East (UAE, KSA). My core expertise lies in developing bespoke, audit-ready safety documentation that guarantees 100% approval rates from stringent regulatory bodies and principal clients. I have meticulously drafted thousands of site-specific documents, including comprehensive Risk Assessments and Method Statements (RAMS) perfectly aligned with UK HSE and CDM regulations, Safe Work Method Statements (SWMS) tailored to Safe Work Australia Codes of Practice, and Activity Hazard Analyses (AHA) and Job Safety Analyses (JSA) strictly compliant with US OSHA standards (1910 General Industry & 1926 Construction). Furthermore, I specialize in authoring full-spectrum corporate HSE Manuals, Site-Specific Safety Plans (SSSP), Emergency Response Plans (ERP), and specialized procedures for High-Risk Construction Work (HRCW) such as confined space entry, working at heights, lifting operations, and hazardous materials handling. My strategic approach integrates the hierarchy of controls (Elimination, Substitution, Engineering, Administrative, PPE) into every deliverable. Beyond task-specific documents, I provide top-tier management system consulting, developing comprehensive manuals for ISO 45001 (OH&S), ISO 9001 (QMS), and ISO 14001 (EMS). By bridging international best practices with local jurisdictional requirements, I empower organizations to achieve zero-harm performance and seamlessly win high-value tenders.

Lead HSE Compliance Auditor & Trainer

Global Competence Development Institute (GCDI) • Full-time

Jan 2019 - Present • 7 yrs 4 mos

Spearheading the Global Competence Development Institute (GCDI) as a Lead Compliance Auditor and Senior HSE Trainer. My role focuses on elevating organizational safety cultures and ensuring strict adherence to international health and safety frameworks across diverse industrial sectors, including heavy manufacturing, oil and gas, and civil construction. I conduct comprehensive third-party safety audits, gap analyses, and hazard identification (HIRA) programs for corporate clients, identifying critical vulnerabilities and implementing robust corrective and preventive actions (CAPA). I specialize in auditing workplace environments against established international protocols such as NEBOSH, IOSH, and OSHA directives. Additionally, I develop and deliver advanced, customized HSE training modules for workforce development. These programs encompass critical safety topics including risk perception, emergency response coordination, ergonomics, and behavioral-based safety (BBS) leadership. By translating complex regulatory jargon into practical, on-site safety protocols, I equip management teams and site workers with the essential competencies required to maintain zero-incident workplaces and sustain continuous improvement in their safety performance metrics.
