The ideal candidate must be a self-starter who takes initiative and demonstrates a proactive approach to identifying hazards, conducting safety training, and collaborating with cross-functional teams to reduce risks in a manufacturing environment.
This position is based at a manufacturing facility with exposure to machinery, noise, and varying temperatures. Some office work is required for documentation and training preparation. Occasional travel may be necessary for training or other business-related purposes. Responsibilities will include but may not be limited to the following:
Duties and Responsibilities
Safety Program Management: Assist in implementing and monitoring safety policies, procedures, and programs tailored to general industry manufacturing operations (e.g., onboarding, machine guarding, lockout/tagout, hazard communication).
Compliance: Ensure adherence to OSHA regulations and applicable regulatory standards (e.g., NPFA), as well as company-specific safety protocols, by conducting regular inspections of the facility.
Risk Assessment: Identify workplace hazards through inspections, job hazard analyses (JHAs), and employee feedback; and recommend corrective actions to mitigate risks.
Training: Deliver safety training sessions for employees, including topics such as personal protective equipment (PPE), emergency response, and safe equipment operation.
Incident Investigation: Participate in investigations of workplace incidents. Compile comprehensive incident reports that emphasize root cause analyses and recommend preventive actions. Transport team members for non-emergency medical care.
Data Analysis: Track site-specific safety metrics (e.g., incident rates, training completion) and prepare reports for management to support continuous improvement efforts.
Emergency Preparedness: Aid in maintaining emergency response plans, conducting drills, and ensuring availability of safety equipment (e.g., fire extinguishers, first aid kits).
Collaboration: Work closely with production supervisors, maintenance teams, and employees to integrate safety practices into daily operations. This role may also work with other organizational peer groups.
Problem Solving: Support resolution of complex problems not covered by existing procedures or practices.
Other:
Perform regular facility walkthroughs involving prolonged standing, walking, and site movement.
Occasionally climb ladders, scaffolding, or stairs to access elevated areas.
Inspect confined spaces and hard-to-reach areas as needed.
