Meet Mary Lucot, a solution-oriented health and safety professional with over 25 years of experience in the field. As the Global Occupational Hygiene Expert at Sanofi, Mary is dedicated to creating safer work environments across the globe. Her extensive background includes developing and deploying Health, Safety, and Environment (HSE) programs that benefit both employees and businesses. With a passion for partnering with people and fostering a culture of safety, Mary’s contributions have had a significant impact on workplace health and safety.
In her current role at Sanofi, a leading global healthcare company, Mary works across all Sanofi businesses and geographic locations to enhance HSE programs. She provides structures to share and implement best practices, ensuring the safety of workers involved in scientific and manufacturing processes. Sanofi’s mission is to chase the miracles of science to improve people’s lives, and Mary plays a crucial part in this mission by safeguarding worker health and well-being.
One of Mary’s most notable achievements is the development of the Air Monitoring Strategy for Biologics. This global process was created to ensure safe working conditions as Sanofi pursues novel biologics such as monoclonal antibodies, mRNA, nanobodies, and enzyme therapies. The strategy has been implemented across various sites, enabling effective monitoring campaigns and ensuring that workers are protected while conducting cutting-edge scientific research and manufacturing.
Mary’s passion for health and safety is deeply rooted in her love for science and helping people. Inspired by her father, a research scientist, and her mother, a nurse, Mary was motivated to combine aspects of both their careers. As an occupational hygienist, she focuses on proactive measures and collaborates with various departments, including engineering, to design out hazards and implement preventative controls. Mary is grateful for her mentors who have shown her the rewarding nature of her profession.
Communicating the business case for HSE actions is a common challenge that Mary faces. She emphasizes the importance of understanding the audience and presenting information in a way that highlights both the business and safety benefits. By listening to the needs of different groups and demonstrating the return on investment (ROI) along with the HSE value, Mary successfully achieves win-win outcomes.
Mary encourages aspiring HSE professionals to be open to learning from everyone around them and to gain experience in different industries. She highlights the importance of communication skills and the need to stay updated with new formats and platforms for sharing data and outcomes. By effectively conveying key messages, HSE professionals can have a significant impact on workplace safety.
Mary is an active member of the Women in Industrial Hygiene (AIHA) committee, where she finds support and empowerment from like-minded professionals. Her involvement has positively impacted her both personally and professionally, leading her to take on a leadership role as the newly elected President of her local AIHA Section for 2024-2025. Mary aims to bring innovative content to the section and connect more new HSE professionals to the benefits of membership.
