A senior scientist and project manager in EH&E’s Healthcare Division, Dale helps healthcare organizations comply with state and federal regulations, maintain accreditation, and create safe environments for critical populations and all building occupants.
Dale brings to each client engagement extensive experience in the design, implementation, and management of occupational health and safety programs, as well as a nuanced understanding of The Joint Commission’s Environment of Care and Emergency Management standards.
