We can't say enough about the newest members of our EHS team, who have performed spectacularly despite diving into a new job in the midst of a pandemic, playing critical roles in preparing for, and ensuring, the safe resumption of operations on campus.

Ryan Carney 

Senior Safety Specialist

Ryan joined Princeton EHS in April. A graduate of Southern Connecticut State University (BS, Public Health), he has an industrial hygiene and safety engineering background. Since arriving, Ryan's primary role has been helping to manage and deliver PPE and supplies to members of the campus community. 

Going forward, his primary responsibilities will include conducting workplace incident investigations and serving as the health and safety liaison for various departments on campus.
