Throughout the pandemic, EA professional staff and its field subcontractors have maintained an outstanding safety compliance record.
“We had a strong succession plan in place for this important position with Rob serving as Deputy Director of Health and Safety, working side-by-side and learning from Pete over this past year,” said Ian MacFarlane, President and Chief Executive Officer. “As a result, we have every confidence that with Rob in charge, EA will continue to build on its proven safety track record—avoiding injuries, sustaining employee health and morale, and advancing more efficient and effective operations. Safety is ingrained in our corporate culture as demonstrated by the fact that EA has earned the National Safety Council’s Occupational Excellence Achievement Award seven times, and for five straight years.”
Rob has more than 25 years of experience across a wide range of programs, including environmental, health, and safety; industrial hygiene; and hazardous waste site support. His experience includes regulatory compliance strategy, industrial hygiene investigation and process analysis, occupational exposure assessment, facility-wide health and safety auditing, and air quality permitting and compliance.
