About Ryan Higgins
I\'m a certified occupational safety professional with 12+ years of leadership and management experience developing and implementing environment, health, and safety (EHS) strategies, programs, processes, and training procedures to effectively reduce workplace hazards and environmental impacts. I\'ve demonstrated the ability to manage multimillion-dollar budgets for use in critical environmental regulatory compliance programs and other safety improvement initiatives with emphasis on risk assessment and root cause analysis to identify potential safety hazards and implement swift corrective actions. I\'ve continued success training and managing both internal and external EHS consultants, partnering with regulatory officials to enhance compliance, and serving as subject matter expert (SME) to create and revise standard operating procedures (SOP) for complex projects and programs to strengthen organization-wide EHS function.
