-
You notice risks others walk past—and you speak up.
-
You like connecting with people on the floor as much as organizing records at a desk.
-
You believe great safety is built on training, teamwork, and readiness.
In this role, you help the plant run safer every day by pairing sharp observation with strong follow-through. You will be present on the floor, in the yard, and in maintenance areas to uncover hazards, and you will keep OSHA documents and SDS in order so compliance is never in doubt. When incidents or near misses occur, you help uncover what happened and how to prevent a repeat. You’ll also shape safe habits by orienting new team members, leading toolbox talks, and coaching proper PPE use.
