Meredith Vesper, OHST

Meredith Vesper is a Safety Consultant for Horton Safety Consultants, a Horton subsidiary that provides comprehensive safety consulting services to a growing number of industrial, construction, public entity, and service operations. Since 1991, Horton’s Safety Consultants team has offered clients a multitude of services designed to control exposure to risk at every level of operation.

Meredith joined the Horton Group in the May 2018, starting as an intern and earning a position as a full-time safety consultant. “My time as an intern, allowed me to apply my education and skills in practical situations.” With such a positive and rewarding internship experience, Meredith is excited to be a part of the safety consulting team.

Before Horton, Meredith’s first internship involved a temporary move to Arizona where she performed various safety duties for a large nuclear, wastewater treatment project. “The heavy construction and industrial safety experience I gained in Arizona helped me prepare for the construction clients I service today. These experiences, coupled with my skills allow me to help small and medium-sized employers make the workplace safer for their employees.”

When it comes to day-to-day work, Meredith enjoys the overall variety from the safety consulting profession. “Every day is different, from accident review boards, employee safety training, or safety audits all while learning from various industries; you build relationships with clients and their employees, which is a very rewarding feeling.”

Meredith graduated from Illinois State University with a Bachelor of Science Degree in Occupational Safety. She enjoys spending time with her family and friends. In her free time, Meredith loves to travel, and her goal is to see all 50 states and other countries.
