Personnel
After earning her B.S. degree, Carol A. Giles worked as a medical technologist at Rush University Medical Center's clinical hematology lab. She represented her lab on the clinical lab safety committee. Giles was promoted to Senior Safety Officer for the medical center and managed chemical and biohazardous waste programs, inspected facilities, conducted fire drills, and trained employees. She instituted a chemical order review and recycling program, decreasing the costs of disposal by 33% in two years. She earned her Masters degree in Public Health (M.P.H.) from U of IL while working full time.
Carol Giles moved on to AMOCO in Chicago to work with certified professionals. She took both CIH exams and passed in 1989. Giles was corporate IH for the Chemicals Division--Fabrics & Fibers (polypropylene textile manufacturing and a Research & Development lab).
After that, Giles managed IH projects for a medium-sized environmental consulting firm--inspecting a Dept. of Energy lab for several months, and evaluating hazards at a meatpacking plant and schools.
Giles worked for Argonne National Laboratory, a US DOEnergy, government-owned, University of Chicago-operated facility, for 15 years managing several programs, developing written programs and training courses using Instructional Design techniques, investigating incidents, illnesses and complaints, and reviewing construction projects for environmental and occupational health and safety issues. She prefers to assess hazards before an operation or construction project starts to prevent problems rather than afterwards.
Carol Giles oversaw IH hazards related to the contracted lead-based paint remediation and rehab of 7 water towers/tanks, participated in a team effort to select and install eye/facewashes sitewide, managed a project to rewrite the safety shoe specifications, and developed and managed their corporate ergonomics program. Her expertise is in unusual hazards. She has attended numerous continuing education classes to keep current.
Giles opened her own consulting firm, Carol A. Giles-Boyar Consulting, LLC, after moving to NJ, mostly working as a subcontractor. In July 2008, she moved back to the Chicago area and started Giles Occupational Safety & Health (GOSH), LLC consulting firm. She can travel both nationally and internationally and work under short- or long-term contracts.
Carol Giles would like to help you solve your more complicated occupational health and safety issues. She has worked as a subcontractor to other consulting companies and welcomes collaborations.
