Environmental Health & Safety Intern

• May 2022 - Aug 2022

Throughout my practicum experience, there were three main projects I worked on. The three main projects were as follows: decibel (dB) readings, lockout tagout (LOTO), and an ergonomic risk assessment. During the dB readings project, I utilized a Sound Level Meter to collect dB readings and complete noise sampling at two facilities, which in turn allowed me to compile a Sound Level Meter Report. Throughout the LOTO project, I developed equipment-specific LOTO procedures and inputted them into a system called "MasterLock eLOTO". Lastly, during the ergonomic risk assessment project, I worked with two professionals to identify and assess the ergonomic risk of the proposed layout for one production line, then proceeded to create an ergonomic risk assessment and strategic mitigation plan. As a bonus, during my time at PGT Innovations, I had the opportunity to volunteer at the PGT Innovations Child Care Center (Rod & Elaine Hershberger Child Care Center) as well as Blind Pass Beach and Park with other interns.
