  • Coordinate safety training, including scheduling, new employee orientation, third-party training, and training records
  • Administer the Respiratory Protection Program, including scheduling, fit testing coordination, and recordkeeping
  • Order, stock, transport, inspect, inventory, and distribute safety supplies, PPE, and equipment, and help employees select the right gear
  • Maintain SDS inventories and electronic management systems; inspect fire extinguishers, AEDs, and first aid cabinets, and arrange replacement or repair as needed
  • Review Safety Surveys and Near Miss/Hazard Recognition reports to spot trends and follow-up actions
  • Assist with incident investigations, root cause analysis, and corrective action development
  • Provide technical safety support for the planning and execution of work activities
  • Support continuous improvement of the safety program, including program content, recordkeeping, and reporting
  • Track Toolbox Talk participation and share performance reporting with departments
  • Attend or facilitate safety meetings and lead by example on our safety culture
