Who I Am

About Me

NEBOSH IGC Certified Safety Engineer with 2+ years of progressive HSE experience in high-risk cement manufacturing environments. I have a proven track record of managing risks, enforcing compliance with ISO 45001/OSHA standards, and fostering a proactive safety culture across large industrial workforces. My background in Chemical Engineering gives me a strong technical foundation to identify process hazards and implement effective engineering controls - not just administrative ones. I am committed to delivering measurable, zero-harm outcomes through hands-on field safety leadership.

Zero-Harm Commitment

Driven by a genuine belief that all workplace injuries are preventable. Every inspection, every toolbox talk, and every risk assessment is carried out with that mission in mind.

Engineering Foundation

A Chemical Engineering degree means I understand process hazards at a technical level - from HAZOP studies to P&ID reading - going beyond basic compliance checklists.

Workforce Engagement

Safety culture is built through people. I specialise in delivering impactful toolbox talks, safety inductions, and emergency drills that create lasting behavioural change.

Data-Driven Safety

I track, analyse, and report HSE performance indicators to identify trends, drive continuous improvement, and present clear safety metrics to management.

Proven Track Record

Impact by Numbers

Real results from real field work - every number below is drawn directly from on-site HSE performance at Kohat Cement Company Limited.

200+

Hazards Identified Per Year

Conducted comprehensive safety audits and inspections across all production zones - raw material, kiln, milling, and dispatch - identifying and recording 200+ hazards every year for corrective action.

35%

Recordable Incident Rate Reduced

Through a systematic audit programme, rigorous PTW enforcement, and proactive near-miss reporting, the site's recordable incident rate dropped by 35% over two years of sustained safety leadership.

Incident Prevention · KPI Improvement

40%

Repeat Incidents Eliminated

Applied Root Cause Analysis (RCA) and the 5-Whys methodology to every incident investigation. CAPA reports ensured corrective actions were implemented and verified - cutting repeat incidents by 40% in year one.

500+

Workforce Protected Under PTW

Managed and enforced the Permit to Work (PTW) system across a combined workforce of 500+ employees and contractors - ensuring every high-risk task was assessed, authorised, and carried out safely with zero lost-time incidents during traineeship.

Lost-Time Incidents

The Ultimate HSE Benchmark

Throughout the entire traineeship period (July 2022 - September 2022), zero lost-time incidents were recorded across the site. This was achieved through strict Permit to Work (PTW) enforcement, proactive hazard identification during 50+ monthly inspections, and consistent worker engagement in near-miss reporting - demonstrating that rigorous process compliance directly prevents workplace harm.
