Über mich
I am a seasoned QHSE Consultant and ISO Lead Auditor (9001 / 14001 / 45001) with over 20 years of experience navigating the high-stakes environments of heavy industry, steel production, and the energy sector. Based in Berlin and operating as a fully registered independent business entity, I provide specialized safety leadership, auditing, and compliance management for Tier-1 industrial firms across Germany and the European Union.
My career is defined by a pragmatic, "boots-on-the-ground" approach to safety. I bridge the critical gap between complex ISO theoretical frameworks and the practical, often hazardous realities of the construction site and production floor. Whether managing the commissioning of Walking Beam Furnaces or overseeing high-pressure testing protocols, my focus remains constant: zero incidents, total regulatory compliance, and operational continuity.
Core Competencies & Technical Specialization
1. Industrial Steel & Energy Expertise
Deep technical knowledge of Walking Beam Furnaces and heavy thermal processing equipment. I understand the specific risks associated with heat treatment, high-voltage systems, and large-scale mechanical assembly. My experience with industry giants like ThyssenKrupp and Danieli has equipped me to handle the unique HSE challenges of international OEM-led projects.
2. High-Risk Operation Management
Expert oversight of critical path operations that carry the highest liability, including:
Non-Destructive Testing (NDT): Radiation safety and personnel coordination.
Pressure & Leak Testing: Developing and enforcing safety perimeters and mechanical integrity protocols.
Heavy Lifting & Rigging: Coordination of multi-crane lifts in confined industrial spaces.
3. German Regulatory Compliance (Rechtssicherheit)
Total fluency in the German safety landscape. I ensure that all project phases align with:
ArbSchG (Arbeitsschutzgesetz): The foundation of German workplace safety.
DGUV Regulations: Implementation of accident prevention vouchers and trade association rules.
BetrSichV (Betriebssicherheitsverordnung): Ensuring equipment safety and recurring inspections.
SiGeKo Functions: Acting as the Health and Safety Coordinator for complex construction sites.
ISO Auditing & Quality Management
As a Lead Auditor, I don’t just identify non-conformities; I provide the roadmap to solve them. I specialize in integrated management systems (IMS), helping firms streamline their Quality, Environmental, and Occupational Health & Safety standards into a single, efficient workflow.
ISO 9001: Driving process quality and subcontractor accountability.
ISO 14001: Managing environmental impact in heavy production (emissions, waste, resource efficiency).
ISO 45001: Building a proactive safety culture that goes beyond "box-ticking."
The Freelance Advantage: B2B Readiness
In the German market, administrative compliance is as important as technical skill. My business setup is designed for seamless integration into your procurement system:
Registered Business Entity: Berlin-based with a valid German Tax ID (Steuer-ID).
Compliance-Focused: VAT-compliant B2B invoicing (USt-IdNr), ensuring no risks of "pseudo-self-employment" (Scheinselbstständigkeit) for the client.
Mobility: 100% available for nationwide deployment within Germany.
Language: Professional proficiency in international project English.
Selected Project Track Record
Steel Production: Safety lead for furnace installation and modernization projects (Walking Beam technology).
Energy Sector: Oversight of high-pressure piping systems and infrastructure safety.
Subcontractor Management: Successfully managed safety protocols for diverse international workforces on multi-billion Euro sites.
Contact & Engagement
I am available for long-term project assignments,
Weitere Kenntnisse
In the realm of steel production, Walking Beam Furnaces (WBF) represent a unique intersection of mechanical, thermal, and chemical hazards. My expertise covers the entire lifecycle—from assembly and cold commissioning to hot commissioning and steady-state operation.
Gas Safety & Combustion Systems: Mastery of EN 746-2 requirements for industrial thermoprocessing equipment. I oversee the safety of fuel-gas trains, burner management systems (BMS), and purging sequences to prevent explosive atmospheres.
Hydraulic & Mechanical Hazards: Walking beam mechanisms involve massive loads and high-pressure hydraulics. I ensure LOTO (Lockout-Tagout) procedures are rigorously applied to prevent uncontrolled movement during maintenance or adjustment.
Refractory & Insulation Risks: Management of RCF (Refractory Ceramic Fibers) and heat stress protocols for personnel working in proximity to high-temperature zones.
2. Specialized High-Risk Operations (NDT & Pressure Testing)
High-risk phases are where projects face the most significant liability and delay risks. I provide the expert oversight necessary to navigate these "critical path" activities:
Pressure Testing (Hydrostatic & Pneumatic): In alignment with the Pressure Equipment Directive (PED 2014/68/EU) and BetrSichV, I supervise the establishment of exclusion zones, stored energy calculations, and the verification of calibrated gauges and relief valves.
Non-Destructive Testing (NDT): Deep familiarity with RT (Radiographic), UT (Ultrasonic), MT (Magnetic Particle), and PT (Dye Penetrant). My focus is on the radiation protection aspects of Gamma-ray or X-ray testing—ensuring clear demarcation, dose monitoring, and compliance with the StrSchV (Strahlenschutzverordnung).
3. The "German Standard" (DGUV & ArbSchG) Framework
Operating in Germany requires more than just knowing the law; it requires knowing how to implement it within the Berufsgenossenschaft (BG) framework.
Gefährdungsbeurteilung (Risk Assessment): I don’t just "write" assessments; I facilitate them. Using the 5-step approach mandated by the ArbSchG, I identify residual risks in complex machine-human interfaces.
DGUV V3 (Electrical Safety): Oversight of recurring testing for stationary and non-stationary electrical equipment on-site—a critical audit point for ThyssenKrupp and similar entities.
SiGeKo (Safety & Health Coordinator): Competent in the BaustellV (Construction Site Ordinance), managing the Sicherheits- und Gesundheitsschutzplan (SiGePlan) to prevent cross-activity hazards between different trades (e.g., scaffolding vs. overhead crane movement).
4. Subcontractor Management in Multi-National Projects
Working with OEMs like Danieli often involves a diverse, multi-lingual workforce. My methodology focuses on:
Interface Management: Clearly defining where one subcontractor's responsibility ends and the next begins—the "grey zones" where most accidents occur.
Pre-Qualification: Rigorous vetting of subcontractor HSE plans, insurance, and technical certifications (e.g., SCCP or ISO 45001) before they set foot on site.
Safety Culture Leadership: Moving beyond punitive measures to "Safety Leadership," where workers understand that compliance is a tool for production efficiency, not a barrier to it.
5. ISO Lead Auditing: Integrated Management Systems (IMS)
As a Lead Auditor for ISO 9001, 14001, and 45001, I help organizations move toward a "paperless" and integrated approach:
Continuous Improvement (PDCA): Implementing the Plan-Do-Check-Act cycle into daily toolboxes and site walks.
Legal Register Maintenance: Ensuring the site's "Rechtskataster" is up to date with the latest EU and German environmental and safety legislation.
Supply Chain Auditing: Extending the audit scope to key suppliers to ensure the client’s reputation is protected throughout the project lifecycle.
