Jim’s work experience has had him in the field as a Health and Safety Supervisor on construction projects worth anywhere from a few hundred dollars to hundreds of millions of dollars. He has also spent time on oil and gas projects in northern Alberta with in-depth safety protocols as well as in an office environment where risks were relatively low and ergonomic concerns were the biggest issue.
