Scott Richards, one of our biggest fans, started his company Cloud Safety Systems because he was consistently witnessing the extensive injuries endured by industrial workers who were “saved” by the industry standards currently in place. With such a unique background, Scott is not a typical engineering and safety consultant. Scott studied naval architecture and marine engineering at the Webb Institute of Naval Architecture and has worked at places such as the Portsmouth Naval Shipyard, Zapata Offshore Co. and Saudi Aramco.
