Michal Tvrdoň – Portrait

Profile

I am a results-driven HSE Manager and Safety Engineer with over a decade of inter­na­tional experience in high-risk indus­tries including automotive, nuclear, chemical, and logistics. Currently, I ensure full-scope HSE compliance and risk management at DHL Supply Chain Slovakia while conti­nuing to oversee safety opera­tions for Jaguar Land Rover via Syncreon, where I intro­duced digital safety walks that cut incident response time by 50%.

Previously, I led HSE strategy for the completion of Blocks 3 & 4 at the Mochovce Nuclear Power Plant, managing a team of 15 with zero repor­table incidents. My hands-on background includes safety super­vision in paint shops, scaffolding coördi­nation, and safety engineering during major turnarounds for industry leaders like Shell and Duslo Šaľa.

Should you be interested in colla­bo­ration or have further questions regarding my services, I would be pleased to hear from you. Let’s work together to make your work environment safer.
