Management
Proforma Safety offers a team of engineering and safety professionals who have the training, experience and resources to ensure your company’s interests are protected and safety is a key business asset, rather than an operating expense.
Robert “Mike” Arnold is CEO of Proforma and has 30 years’ experience as a safety professional in both corporate and private industry. He is a specialist in geophysical, drilling, production and service operations and is a safety trainer/instructor in 23 HSE subject areas. (For details, see his resume.)
“Our belief is that the customer should be informed of all matters related to HSE for any operation in which the company is involved, including any matters related to contractors, sub-contractors and vendors,” says Mike. “Proforma knows that failure to deal with insufficiencies, ignorance or neglect can result in increased incidents, leading to claims and/or litigation.”
Robert “Scott” Arnold serves as president with 18 years’ experience as a safety professional in drilling, geophysical, production, transportation and service operations.
Scott also is trained as an emergency medical technician and hazardous material specialist. He is an accident investigation/reconstruction investigator, a fire, safety and accident prevention training specialist and investigator, and has served as incident commander and fire fighting instructor for industrial, municipal and marine environments and fire science technology. (For details, see his resume.)
”We try to instill two primary concepts in everyone’s mind: (1) always conduct a “what-if” analysis in advance of any job or task to identify hazards that may exist, and (2) believe you have the right and obligation to stop the job if a hazard does exist, or if you don’t feel comfortable that the work will be performed safely,” says Scott.
“This approach, when consistently applied, can result in significant reduction in accidents and injuries. For one client alone, we’ve helped achieve 15 million manhours without a Days Away From Work Case (DAFWC) injury.”
