HazTek Safety Professional Peg Neville started her career in safety and risk management early on, earning her Emergency Medical Technician (EMT) license while in high school and working as a Risk Reduction Manager for a Fortune 500 company while in college. She earned a degree in Environmental & Natural Sciences and continued on with graduate certificates in Construction Management and Environmental Public Health. With a residential construction background, she became interested in industrial hygiene with a focus on hazard communication for inhalation toxins at construction sites.

Peg is a NJ-licensed Registered Environmental Health Specialist. She has been recognized as a subject matter expert in lead and asbestos since 2010, teaching EPA certificate classes on lead and asbestos as a Principal Instructor. In addition, Peg is an OSHA Outreach Instructor. She joined the HazTek team 7 years ago and has been teaching a variety of OSHA classes including Construction Safety, 10- & 30-hour Outreach courses, OSHA 510, and HAZWOPER 40.

Peg is currently assigned as the Lead Safety Manager overseeing construction projects for one of our clients on a site in Central New Jersey. Peg’s background in public health, first response, and infectious disease contact tracing was a natural fit for our client’s COVID 19 response team. While overseeing and supporting a team of HazTek Site Safety Officers on the site, she also continues to instruct classes remotely for Rutgers School of Public Health – Center for Public Health Workforce Development.

Thank you to Peg for her commitment to education and dedication to our organization.
