• 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.
• 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.
• Follow up on machine-related observations, near misses, injuries, property damage, and other incidents as directed by EHS leadership.
• Complete inspections, observations, incident notes, and corrective action updates accurately and on time.
• Track and communicate leading indicators such as hazard reports, near misses, machine safety findings, repeat deficiencies, and corrective action status.
• Use field data and employee feedback to identify trends and recommend practical improvements that reduce risk and strengthen safety culture.
• Intervene when unsafe conditions or behaviors are observed and escalate through EHS and area leadership as appropriate.
• Stop work when imminent danger exists or when work cannot be performed safely.
• Support timely resolution of safety concerns while maintaining clear communication with impacted teams.

• Strong communication, coaching, documentation, and follow-up skills with hourly and salaried employees.
• Comfort using basic computer applications, inspection tools, and reporting systems.
• Ability to work a shift-based schedule and support multiple operating areas as needed.
