EHS Technican: Machine Safety

Machine Safety Field Presence & Engagement 

• Maintain a visible EHS presence in production, warehouse, logistics, maintenance, and support areas. 

• Engage employees and leaders on machine safety expectations, hazard recognition, safe behaviors, PPE use, and pre-use checks. 

• Communicate safety findings to local production teams, including appropriate handoff through shift or area huddles. 

• Provide respectful coaching, reinforce positive safety behaviors, and escalate concerns when additional support is needed. 

Equipment Inspections & Risk Controls 

• Conduct routine machine safety inspections and walkthroughs to identify hazards, unsafe conditions, damaged equipment, blocked access, housekeeping concerns, and control gaps. 

• Support inspection of new or modified machinery following installation and before SAT/commissioning, in partnership with EHS, engineering, maintenance, and operations. 

• Support EHS-led risk assessments by gathering field observations, employee input, task context, and exposure information. 

• Verify that temporary controls remain effective until permanent corrective actions are completed. 

LOTO, Guarding & High-Risk Work Support 

• Reinforce expectations for guarding, safety devices, emergency stops, signage, and other critical machine safeguards. 

• Support hazardous energy control expectations during cleaning, jam clearing, maintenance, troubleshooting, and other non-routine work. 

• Identify potential gaps in procedures, training, verification steps, or work practices and coordinate follow-up with EHS and area leadership. 

• Escalate immediate or uncontrolled machine safety risks in accordance with site EHS procedures. 

Incident Follow-up & Corrective Actions 

• Follow up on machine-related observations, near misses, injuries, property damage, and other incidents as directed by EHS leadership. 

• Gather accurate incident information and support root cause discussions, corrective action tracking, retraining needs, and recurrence prevention. 

• Ensure safety issues are logged appropriately and that action plans are assigned, tracked, and communicated. 

• Monitor repeat findings or overdue actions and escalate when plans are delayed, ineffective, or require additional resources. 

EHS Integration & Site Support 

• Support broader EHS activities when they intersect with machine safety, including PPE compliance, hazard communication, minor spill response, ergonomics, traffic flow, and contractor work controls. 

• Provide field input during equipment changes, layout adjustments, process modifications, maintenance work, and project activity. 

• Assist with contractor safety verification, work permit awareness, and JSA expectations where machine or equipment hazards are present. 

• Partner with EHS to promote compliance with site procedures, OSHA General Industry expectations, and LEGO safety standards. 

Documentation, Metrics & Continuous Improvement 

• Complete inspections, observations, incident notes, and corrective action updates accurately and on time. 

• Track and communicate leading indicators such as haza
