Owens has a diverse background in risk management and occupational health and safety. He served five years active duty in the U.S. Army as a Combat Engineer, achieving the rank of Sergeant. He was deployed to Baghdad, Iraq in 2004 where he served in support of Task Force 1-9 Cavalry, an element of the 1st Cavalry Division.
Brian left military service in 2005 with an honorable discharge and went to work in the open-pit copper mines of the southwestern U.S. where he first became involved in occupational health and safety. He later became the Corporate Safety Director for a multi-divisional industrial construction company.
In addition to his continued presence in the mines, Brian broadened his safety experience with operations in oil and gas, as well as pipeline industries. It was here that Brian began drafting the concept of his theory of Inversion. During a three-and-half-year stint, guided by the Inversion principles, Brian helped the company earn an OHSAS 18001 Health and Safety Assessment Series certification, which is a globally recognized standard for safety management. This heavily contributed to reducing the company’s Experience Modifier Rating (EMR) by 35 points, which greatly reduced the cost of the company’s workers’ compensation insurance premiums.
Brian moved on to become Environmental Health and Safety Manager for an aluminum remelt, extrusion, and fabrication operation. He continued developing the Perspective-Based Safety Culture, traveling North America to other extrusion operations to give presentations and help change the mindset of modern occupational safety.
Brian now serves as a Risk Consultant with clients in many different industries. He delivers his stories and philosophical anecdotes to help others realize the importance of perspective-based safety.voir moins
