About Bernie Hudson

A highly experienced EHS leader with a solid track record, I thrive in an atmosphere of persistent challenge — developing and implementing safety policies and procedures, including identifying risks and providing training to employees on how to handle hazardous situations. Over the years, I earned a reputation for creating and enforcing health and safety standards in accordance with regulations. My expertise lies in maintaining records of accidents and injuries to track trends and improve safety measures. Throughout my career, I have repeatedly provided leadership and support for the development, implementation, and maintenance of EHS programs, management systems, and policies/procedures. I’ve consistently guaranteed a safe working environment, adhering to environment, health, and safety (EHS) procedures and ensuring they are always understood and practiced by the team. Furthermore, I prepare written reports of findings and recommendations for corrective/preventive measures where indicated and follow up to ensure measures have been implemented. In addition to these, I conduct post-accident investigations and prepare reports identifying possible accident causes and hazards for use by company personnel.
