Services provided
I’m an Environmental, Health & Safety (EHS) consultant focused on early-stage biotech and life-science facilities. Day-to-day, I:
Design and audit safety programs – from biosafety and chemical hygiene plans to emergency response procedures – so startup labs hit regulatory marks (OSHA, EPA, CDC/NIH guidelines) without slowing their science.
Implement digital safety management with platforms like SafetyAmp, giving teams real-time inspection logs, incident reporting, and analytics they can act on.
Coach scientists and founders through hazard assessments, lab build-outs (e.g., separating mammalian tissue-culture from new bacterial suites), and permitting, translating regulations into practical bench-top SOPs.
Develop training content – recently, an online medical-waste-handling course – to keep rapidly growing teams compliant and confident.
In short, I bridge the gap between cutting-edge research and rock-solid safety culture, so innovators can scale safely and regulators stay happy.
