My health and safety journeys started when I became a Health and Safety Representative for a high voltage electrical maintenance company.
Several off shore sailing experiences to the Pacific proved there was a need in all aspects of life to be properly prepared for what you may need to face.
Moving into the supermarket industry opened a lot of new thinking and insights into how these businesses operate and the wide variety of knowledge that was required. This included logistics, dispatching, loading, shelving and storage, driver knowledge and traffic management.
Karen has some construction background for small and large projects from apartments to data centres built in the past three years up to 2023.
Moving around to different industries has given me insights into different computer systems and ways of managing Health and Safety.
