Zainab Nelson considers navigating employee health and safety as similar to hiking a mountain trail, one of her favourite activities. There is excitement, exhaustion, lots of hard work – all of which lead to a worthwhile view at the top. For her, it’s not just about the destination, but about the journey itself.
Zainab is a Certified Industrial Hygienist who has worked in many industries during her eight-year career. Colleagues know her as a highly pragmatic expert who can always be trusted to come up with a practical approach to occupational hygiene and workplace health and safety. Before suggesting solutions, she spends a lot of time understanding her client’s business, priorities and workforce.
She saw the need to bring high-quality occupational hygiene services to Prince George and the Northern British Columbia community. As a result, she founded Exposure Control Consulting to meet the demands of a highly resource-based economy. Her work at Exposure Control Consulting ensures that chemical, physical and biological hazards are well controlled and do not cause detrimental health effects. Gone are the days when getting sick, injured or killed was just “a part of the job”.
Zainab believes that OHS professionals have a duty and social purpose to ensure workers are not harmed and have the ability to enjoy their retirement after a lifetime of employment. She has a unique perspective on protecting women in heavy industry sectors: “Protection from chemical reproductive hazards is something near and dear to my heart. With more women entering traditionally male-dominant workplaces, employers have an obligation to protect vulnerable populations, such as those who are pregnant or want to become pregnant, from hazards that were once overlooked,” she says.
