Having worked with Karoly, I found him to be very practical in his approach to safety. Karoly did not simply look at the requirements for health and safety, he would ensure that safety and operations worked together, ensuring that there wasn't a conflict later in the schedule, often thinking outside the box to ensure the work was delivered with minimal disruption.

Few people have the opportunity to work with an HSE manager who is professional and charismatic - but I did when I worked with Karoly. I had the pleasure of working with him for just under two years at Copp's Services, where he supported our projects from a health and safety perspective. Karoly’s ability to juggle multiple projects was unlike any I’ve seen before and made a dramatic difference in the productivity level of our team. Any employer would be lucky to have Karoly on their team.
