Making Safety Part of the Way Work Gets Done
The safety landscape has changed. It’s no longer just about manuals and mandates. It’s about building trust in high-risk, high-turnover environments where the pressure never lets up. That’s where Forster operates best.
As Director of Health and Safety at Kal Tire, Forster leads programs across mining and industrial sites where crews face complex risks daily. Her focus is on turning procedures into habits and building systems that teams rely on—not because they have to, but because they work.
Before Kal Tire, Forster led safety and risk at Emterra Group, where logistics, recycling and environmental services come with fast growth and tight margins. She kept safety stable as operations expanded, aligning frontline realities with evolving regulations.
A Track Record Built across Complex Industries
Forster’s career cuts across forestry, oilfield services, waste management and transportation industries where hazards are serious and mistakes cost lives. At Western Forest Products, she overhauled outdated frameworks across mills and remote logging sites. At Newalta, she built EHS programs that held up across fragmented U.S. oilfield markets. At Casella Waste, she designed regional systems that were both practical and budget-conscious. Across each role, Forster has delivered consistent outcomes—fewer incidents, stronger training and safety programs people actually use.
Practical, People-First Safety
What sets Forster apart isn’t theory—it’s her ability to meet teams where they are. She listens, simplifies and gets results without overengineering the process. Her programs feel real because they’re built from the ground up, shaped by years in the field and always focused on what matters most, making sure everyone gets home safe.
