Ryan Feindel is the kind of HSE leader that helps teams make better decisions that keep work moving and people protected. He’s got the technical chops (industrial hygiene sampling, environmental protection plans, bid support — the whole toolbox), but his real edge is influence. Even the skeptics buy in because Ryan keeps safety practical. He develops procedures that improve performance instead of getting in the way. At Park Derochie, that approach has helped drive measurable improvements — fewer incidents, stronger participation in safety initiatives — and it’s made the company more competitive when bidding and delivering major work. He’s also built credibility where it matters: consistent, fair, and dialed in with union partners, making sure decisions line up with collective agreements and the realities on site. One voter put it best: Ryan “balances compliance with practicality, ensuring that safety procedures enhance, not hinder, operational productivity.”
