Employee Spotlight on Drew Lampman, Management System Specialist

GET TO KNOW DREW LAMPMAN

HOW DID YOU FIRST LEARN ABOUT BLUE HERON ENVIRONMENTAL?

I met Linda Byron, Pam Powers and Serena Maki from Blue Heron while participating in the Ontario Mining Association Environment Committee around 2006.

WHAT IS YOUR FAVORITE PART ABOUT BEING A MANAGEMENT SYSTEM SPECIALIST?

I enjoy the wide variety of environmental projects from permitting and closure plans, auditing to developing operation manuals which help our clients to improve their performance and reduce their risks.

WHAT IS ONE MYTH ABOUT BEING A MANAGEMENT SYSTEM SPECIALIST THAT YOU’D LIKE TO CLEAR UP?

Management systems do not need to be complicated. The best ones are the simplest, easy to implement and follow.

WHAT WAS YOUR FIRST JOB?

My first job during high school were officiating recreational sports like hockey, soccer and softball. Lots of rules to know just like EHS.

During the summer I worked in construction for a small electrical company installing underground utilities and restoration landscaping. Reading drawings and specifications to build what the owner needed.

IF YOU COULD PICK UP ANY NEW SKILL IN AN INSTANT, WHAT WOULD IT BE?

Either master Excel or wheelie my bicycle.

GOT ANY FAVORITE QUOTES?

A good motto for continuous improvement.

“If you know there’s something wrong

Why don’t you right it”.

Ra McGuire, Trooper

WHAT’S SOMETHING YOU WANT TO DO IN THE NEXT YEAR THAT YOU’VE NEVER DONE BEFORE?

Learn to whitewater kayak. I have gone rafting and canoeing already.

WHAT’S YOUR FAVORITE PLACE YOU’VE EVER VISITED?

There are so many excellent provincial parks in Ontario, but the Madawaska River is probably my favorite.
