Meet Trishana Lamsal: Safety Coordinator at NTI
Trishana Lamsal has been a Safety Coordinator with NTI since 2025, supporting the company's mission of building and connecting large-scale data center facilities across the United States. Throughout her time with NTI, she has contributed to projects in multiple states, gaining experience in a variety of data center environments and construction phases.
"Simply put, my job is to make sure our crew works safely and goes home injury-free every day."
Her project experience includes working alongside HITT on QTS Data Center projects in Ohio and other locations, with a focus on overhead structural installations such as fiber trays, basket trays, trapezes, and VCMs. She also supported connectivity-focused operations at NTI's San Antonio site, contributing to cable installation, system testing, and validation efforts for major enterprise cloud customers.
Trishana's Journey to Becoming NTI's Safety Coordinator
Trishana joined NTI after earning her master's degree in Environmental, Safety, and Health Management, with a goal of applying her expertise in hazard analysis, regulatory compliance, and risk mitigation to complex construction environments. Drawn to the critical infrastructure and data center industry for its high standards and unique safety challenges, she found an opportunity to put her academic training into practice while supporting large-scale projects across the country.
"Working across multiple NTI project sites, managing everything from early-phase tray infrastructure to active cabling and validation, allowed me to apply my graduate safety training directly to the field, leading naturally into my current role overseeing job-site safety compliance and crew protection," she says.
Contributors to Success in the Safety Field
According to Trishana, success in the safety field comes from a combination of strong leadership, clear communication, and a proactive mindset. She believes effective safety professionals lead by example, foster a culture where team members take ownership of safety, and build trust through consistent engagement with crews.
“It's important to clearly explain the why behind protocols and conduct engaging safety briefings so expectations are understood and respected," she explains.
Trishana also emphasizes the importance of vigilance, adaptability, and teamwork. Identifying potential hazards before they become incidents, responding confidently to changing job-site conditions, and collaborating closely with technicians, contractors, and clients are all critical to maintaining a safe and productive work environment. By staying attentive, decisive, and aligned with all stakeholders, safety professionals can help ensure every project is completed safely and successfully.
What Trishana's Typical Workday Looks Like
No two days are exactly the same for Trishana, but each one begins with a focus on safety and preparation. She starts her mornings by leading the crew's daily safety huddle, reviewing Pre-Task Plans, discussing lessons learned from previous site observations, and highlighting any changes that could impact the day's work. These meetings help ensure everyone is aligned, informed, and ready to work safely before the first task begins.
Throughout the day, Trishana can be found walking around the job site, engaging with crews, and proactively identifying potential hazards before they become incidents. She works closely with technicians, project leaders, and general contractor safety teams to maintain a safe and productive work environment. In addition to participating in site safety meetings and joint safety walks, she documents field observations and tracks safety trends, helping leadership maintain visibility into overall site performance. Her hands-on approach and constant presence in the field play a key role in supporting NTI's commitment to safety excellence.
