Kimberly Meadows has been working as an occupational health and safety professional full-time since 2004. She pivoted her career to focus on prevention after more than 15 years as a deckhand, marine rescue specialist, and body recovery diver. She was trained as an underwater forensic investigator and was one of three women in North America with her level of diver certification. Kim left that industry and moved back to Victoria, shifting her focus to prevention rather than response and recovery, where she took a job teaching first aid and inevitably found herself aligning with the world of occupational health & safety. After a long career in construction, municipal safety and transportation, Kim started Safety First Consulting Ltd. in 2019 and has not looked back. She is an award-winning instructor, developing and delivering OHS education to all levels of organizations and has been recognized as a leader in the industry. She is the past president of a chapter of Canadian Society of Safety Engineering. She holds an OHS certificate from the University of Northern British Columbia as well as NCSO and CRSP designations.
