About Valerian

Independent consultant in industrial risk management and QHSE since 2015, I support public and private clients in managing their regulatory obligations, risk prevention, and team training.
Founder of KEVADEL, I have developed a multidisciplinary practice covering the entire life cycle of facilities: from processing ICPE files in the pre-project phase to dismantling, including operation under SEVESO constraints, management of building pollutants, and compliance with health and safety regulations.
My two longest references summarize well what I bring: seven years with SNCF Gares & Connexions on asbestos management in a heritage of 3,000 stations — 1,121 agents trained, 23,498 hours of training delivered — and seven years of outsourced QHSE management for the Office Public de l'Habitat of the Agglomération d'Épinal for a portfolio of 5,000 housing units. In both cases, a long-term relationship, complex issues, concrete deliverables.
My profile is atypical: an engineer by training with a specialization in nuclear, a former volunteer firefighter for 17 years, a Radiation Protection Competent Person, a construction safety coordinator (SPS), a certified asbestos and lead surveyor, an SS4 trainer — and holder of an Executive MBA that taught me to move beyond the purely technical realm to address safety issues as strategic and organizational challenges.
What my clients appreciate: I quickly grasp a subject, produce structured and actionable deliverables, and know how to address both field teams and management.
