Adam Chiasson

Steve and I worked together from 2011-2016 when he supported our remote team with EH&S services. Faced with several areas of improvement, he designed pragmatic and logical changes to incorporate a gradual improvement plan for our facility. His prompt response to issues and practical approach to solving problems allowed our associates to adapt quickly to new strategic imperatives related to health, wellness and safety. His dedication and effort led to an improved work environment, safety and culture, with that in mind I strongly recommend Steve
