Safety & Risk Management

· Participate in incident, injury, illness, and near-miss investigations and support root cause analysis and corrective action planning.

· Conduct workplace risk assessments and inspections and partner with site leaders to address identified hazards.

· Support injury prevention, workers’ compensation, and return-to-work activities as appropriate.

· Develop and deliver EHS training and awareness programs for employees and leaders.

· Track EHS metrics and trends and use data to identify opportunities for proactive risk reduction and continuous improvement.

· Provide technical guidance during emergency response planning and EHS-related events.
