I am an Occupational Health and Safety (OHS) professional in Toronto, Canada.  This is a profession that deals with the protection of employees at work so that they do not get hurt or sick because of hazards in the workplace.

Among others, the role of an OHS professional is to act as a technical resource person for a company in taking their health and safety system forward.  The objective is to help the company comply with the required acts and regulations that apply to the health and safety of employees at work.  Our job is also to help the management in understanding their legal responsibilities and the concept of 'due diligence" in taking every precaution reasonable for the protection of employees. 

Although, I mostly use the Occupational Health and Safety Act and Regulations applicable to Ontario workplaces, I have an overall understanding about the regulatory laws for the federal and other provincial jurisdictions.

Educationally, I have a Bachelor of Science degree in Engineering from Bangladesh and a Master of Science in Conservation Biology (equivalent to environmental science) from the United Kingdom.  I have taken a number of courses in occupational health and safety in Canada.  However, as part of my personal continuous improvement initiative, I have been undertaking a certificate program in occupational health and safety at Ryerson University in Toronto.

I am a Bangladeshi national.  I came to Canada in 2003 as a landed immigrant and subsequently became a citizen of this country.

I am fond of computer programming, network administration, website development and conducting researches on the Internet on a variety of topics including environment, occupational health and safety, food defense, quality and management systems.
