To help our chapter members learn more about our board, we are starting a monthly series that helps them get to know their leadership team. This month, we’re excited to introduce Sixtus Aliriagwu, GSP, M. Eng. our ASSP Sacramento Chapter President!
Sixtus serves as an EHS Manager with DPR Construction and has dedicated the last 10 years to the safety profession. For the past 7 years, he has been an active member of the Sacramento Chapter, helping support and advance our local safety community.
What inspired Sixtus to pursue a career in safety? Simple, but powerful: the opportunity to protect people, prevent injuries, and help ensure every worker returns home safely to their family.
One of the things he enjoys most about ASSP is the opportunity to build relationships, share knowledge, and connect with safety professionals who are passionate about growing and strengthening the profession. As Chapter President, he continues to demonstrate that commitment through his leadership and service.
Outside of work and volunteering, Sixtus enjoys traveling the world, experiencing new cultures, and making memories with his wife and three children. Fun fact: As a proud Nigerian, “Wakanda Forever” will always have a special place in his heart!
His best piece of safety advice: “If you see something unsafe, say something, and take appropriate action to help address it.”
And the motto he lives by? “It’s a beautiful day.” A simple reminder to approach each day with gratitude and optimism.
Thank you, Sixtus, for your leadership, dedication, and continued contributions to the ASSP Sacramento Chapter and the safety profession!
