About Michael Thomas
A highly successful and influential emvironmental, health and safety professional.

I am highly successful and influential environmental, health and safety professional with an exceptional track record in the delivery of safe working practices in a high risk working environment. I have a wide range of knowledge and skills within the health and safety industry and have played a pivotal role in an array of health and safety projects.
I have worked extremely successfully with a range of organisations and have proactively managed some complex environmental, health and safety issues.
I have outstanding communication skills which provide me with an exceptional ability to communicate effectively with site personnel, contractors and a range of other health and safety professionals. Furthermore, I have demonstrated an exceptional ability to work with a multinational workforce and have proved particularly successful when working with the trade union and its representatives.
I can effectively manage all elements of an environmental, health and safety project from the delivery of training to the identification of hazards and implementation of preventative measures to reduce risks on site. I have an excellent track record in the delivery of projects and have played a pivotal role in the delivery of environmental work.
What’s more, I am highly competent at coordinating site personnel and making them aware of the importance of adhering to health and safety issues throughout the course of their day to day duties.
