Coach and support leaders in recognizing risk, understanding operational tradeoffs, and reinforcing effective safety-related decision-making in the field.
Implement and oversee EHS training programs for all employees, including new hire orientation, OSHA 10-hour training, and recurring site-specific safety training, ensuring training aligns with actual work and risk exposure.
Implement and sustain the Client Business Unit’s and C&W Services’ EHS policies, procedures, and programs, adapting them as needed to ensure effective site-level execution.
Lead EHS hazard assessments, including Job Hazard Analyses (JHAs) and PPE assessments, identifying opportunities to strengthen controls and reduce exposure to risk.
