As a Power Engineer with Syncrude Canada Ltd., he performed various roles from process and control panel operations to serving on the Safe Operating Committee (SOC). His safety training and experience included Safety Liaison in plant outages; implementation of safety measures to protect both employees and plant operations; and development of training manuals for various field posts with safety being the highest priority.

In his current employment with Royal Dutch Shell, he has served as an Operations STEP Focal (‘Safety Through Employee Participation’) with Shell’s Safety Department during outages. This role was most rewarding as it was highly interactive with field operators and involved observation, identification, and feedback to employees of both safe and unsafe work practices.

Peter also served as an employee representative with Shell’s ‘Operations IG’ Committee and was responsible for liaisons with management of Operator concerns involving work practices, safety, workplace ergonomics, etc. As a member of this committee, he was involved in the research and procurement of ergonomic friendly chairs and equipment among other responsibilities.

As a Workplace Wellness Centre of Excellence (Workplace Wellness COE) Associate, Peter serves as a Safety Adviser in the development/delivery of Workplace Wellness COE’s ‘Intro to Safety and Ergonomics’ Module of their Workplace Wellness Ambassador Certification Programs among other safety-related advisory roles and services.

Peter is currently pursuing an Occupational Health and Safety Certificate with the University of Alberta to complement his professional training and development in industrial health and safety.

Peter holds firm that ‘Safety Begins with Each of Us’ and with his ‘safety first’ mindset and work habits, has never been involved in a worksite accident or a loss time incident.
