Workplace Health Manager
Scope
Run the facility ergonomics program: conduct job hazard analyses and ergonomic assessments using NIOSH, RULA, and REBA methodologies, and drive workstation redesigns that cut musculoskeletal disorder risk.
Plan and oversee industrial hygiene testing, including baseline and periodic exposure monitoring for noise, chemical vapors, and dusts, and interpret results against OSHA PELs, NIOSH RELs, and ACGIH TLVs.
Administer the PPE hazard assessment and respiratory protection program across the shop floor, including fit testing and medical clearance tracking.
Own the industrial hygiene budget and manage third-party IH labs and consultants, and manage and develop the occupational health specialists assigned to the program.
Collaborate with Industrial Engineering on line balancing and rotation schedules to minimize repetitive-motion exposure, and report ergonomic ROI metrics to plant leadership.
What We're Looking For
- You've run a job hazard analysis and ergonomics program using NIOSH, RULA, or REBA methodologies, and turned findings into workstation redesigns that actually shipped.
- You've designed and executed industrial hygiene sampling plans, including noise dosimetry and air sampling for vapors and particulates, and interpreted results against OSHA PELs, NIOSH RELs, or ACGIH TLVs.
- You hold a technical background in industrial hygiene, occupational health, or a related science or engineering field, because interpreting exposure data and setting controls depends on it.
- You've managed and developed occupational health or IH specialists, or owned the vendor relationships and budget for an IH program.
- You've administered a respiratory protection and PPE hazard assessment program in a manufacturing environment, including fit testing and medical clearance tracking.
- You've worked directly with industrial engineers on line balancing or rotation schedules to cut repetitive-motion exposure.
- You track improvement projects to ROI, not just completion, and report those numbers to leadership on a set cadence.
Bonus
- Certified Industrial Hygienist (CIH), held or actively pursuing.
- Certified Professional Ergonomist (CPE) or equivalent.
- Workers' compensation claims management experience.
- Familiarity with ISO 45001 management systems.
