After spending nearly seven years working closely with us in a safety consulting role, Kasey officially became our new senior health and safety manager on September 1st, 2020. Kasey’s new role also involves working to improve the security of our physical facilities and critical assets, with a focus on emergency management and planning.

Unexpectedly, Kasey entered the field of Safety Management after graduating college as a business major and working in positions related to his degree. In 2009, he started working for a local health and safety consulting firm in business development.

“As business increased, the owner began asking me to do safety training and other tasks for different clients and my career in safety took off from there. I went on to get several safety certifications over the next few years and have been in environmental, health, and safety (EHS) consulting for over 12 years now,” said Kasey.

The variety of work related to our operations and the opportunity to improve employee safety are examples of why Kasey enjoys being a member of Team PGH2O. He said that over the past few years he has seen a great deal of positive change in the organization and leadership team and, as a result, is thrilled to be part of our ongoing renewal. Kasey also greatly values the productive working relationships and friendships he has developed with fellow team members so far.

Kasey’s favorite challenges to tackle are those that have a profound impact and are meaningful to people. The task associated with upholding health and safety standards can certainly be described as such.

“Most importantly, my duty is to reduce employee injuries and send our employees home safe. I’ve seen the overall devastating impact that injuries can have on people’s lives and their families, and I truly believe that my efforts will have a considerable positive impact in terms of incident prevention.”

In his free time, Kasey enjoys the company of his wife and two young daughters and said he loves being a girl dad! To round out the rest of his time, he plays ice hockey, is involved in his church and helps lead in their youth program, and operates a side business of renovating and renting properties.
