Start the evening with drinks, food, and networking with fellow industry professionals before joining us for this engaging and timely discussion. ABOUT DAVID David Valentin is an accomplished safety professional dedicated to bridging the gap between regulatory compliance and safety excellence through Hourigan’s Safety and Health Management System. His strong hazard recognition skills enable project teams to proactively […]
