Robert has functioned with all trades during all phases of construction and is familiar with trade specific processes.

He is now focused on training employees how to respond to and act during an emergency.
Life and Safety is proud to welcome T.C. Gore who brings 27 years of medical experience to the team. TC began his career at the age of 15 as a Junior Fire Fighter for a small fire department outside of Atlanta where he learned the skills necessary to provide first aid and CPR. At 16 years old he was awarded the certification of medical first responder. At 18 he joined the United States Navy and worked as a hospital corpsman for 4 years active and 4 years reserve. During that time, he earned his paramedic license and was a technical rescue specialist and dive team leader. After completing his time with the Navy TC moved to Greenville and started working for city of Greer fire department and Greenville County EMS where he also acted as an independent duty paramedic.
With this type of medical experience, TC brings a unique perspective to safety and compliance which allows us to utilize his skills as a certified flight paramedic of which, at this time, there are only about 6000 in the world. With these skills combined we can now provide our clients with expert level knowledge on aviation safety and how it complements and applies to OSHA compliance.
