It stated that Beri emerged winner from about 18716 entries from across five African regions after a careful and thorough screening process by a team of Quality, Health, Safety and Environment (QHSE) professionals in Africa.
A multiple award-winning Health, Process and Technical Safety expert, Beri is one of the few women calling the shot in the safety environment and has shown commitment to entrenching safety culture and bridging industry gaps in knowledge and skills.
She is a pioneering consultant in the set-up of the Lagos State Safety Commission (LSSC) and the first female Process Safety Service Facilitator in West Africa who has championed standardisation and codes using safety engineering as tool.
