Background

About David Meeks

I have almost 30 years of experience in paper mills. Approximately 20 of those years in tissue mills and associated converting. My last 10 years have been in safety; 3 years as a safety coordinator (hourly position) and the last 7 as a safety supervisor. In those roles I developed and presented safety related training, both in person and via LMS. I was a competent person for fall protection, scaffold inspection, trenching and excavation, mobile equipment trainer, and received my state certification for asbestos inspector and asbestos contractor supervisor. Primary contact for Health and Safety in the tissue mill. I also had 10 years in the USAF working with munitions systems. Those 10 years exposed a naive boy from Idaho to different people, cultures, and parts of the world. It introduced me to the importance of safety and working safely. A major achievement in my life was graduating college shortly before I turned 50. I was not a good student in school. I hated school. To graduate with a 3.87 GPA was a huge deal for me. I am open to new challenges, in new locations, in new industries.
