Bio
James Chesire
Vishal was the face of safety during my tenure at Ohm Labs in New Brunswick NJ. Whether performing inspections, training, waste removal coordination, incident investigation, and creation of safety related work orders &follow-up, Vishal who more often than not the one whointeracted with the various departments to complete safety related tasks. He performed those tasks professionally and competently, often working off-hours to accommodate a three shift operation. Vishal takes safety seriously but not so seriously that he is unapproachable to anyone wishing to voice a safety concern.

I have had the privilege of working with Vishal Parmar for 8 years. Through the several years that we spent together at OHM, I have learned quite a bit from him on workplace safety and risk prevention. He is very passionate and thorough when it comes to all matters safety related. His training sessions are very informative, leaving you confident you’re well equipped to handle any workplace emergency that may occur. His hands-on approach to teaching is very engaging - from CPR/First Aid lessons using props to an annual hands-on fire extinguishing training where you are given an opportunity to extinguish a live, controlled fire outside. Vishal has been a pleasure to work with. His enthusiasm for safety along with an attention to detail make him an asset at OHM Laboratories.
