Summary:

The SHE Associate Manager supports deployment of SC Johnson’s Safety, Health and Environmental (SHE) management practices for multiple manufacturing sites in the Brantford, ON region to ensure compliance with local legal requirements and SCJ global standards. The role will work closely with the Director, North America Regional SHE to align SC Johnson’s overall safety, health and environmental strategies with site-level targets and objectives. This role also provides technical and strategic leadership to ensure site-specific processes associated with the management of high-hazard chemical processes are effectively deployed and maintained. While this role requires safety, health and environmental technical knowledge and experience, success is equally dependent on developing and supporting “champions” within the site to drive day-to-day ownership for SHE.

3. Deploys internal audit processes, including SHE-related GEMBA and behavior observations, that proactively identify potential SHE non-conformances.
4. Partners with stakeholders at each site to drive timely, effective closure of identified SHE-related corrective and preventive actions.
5. Collaborates with each site’s engineering and maintenance teams to ensure that inspections, testing, preventive maintenance activities associated with SHE-critical equipment and applicable high-hazard processes are defined and appropriately documented.
6. Provides subject matter expertise to support periodic external regulatory inspections associated with safety, health, environmental and/or fire protection matters.
7. Champions the investigation of safety, health and environmental incidents and ensures that corrective and preventive actions that address root causes are effectively deployed across the site.
8. Deploys and maintains training processes to ensure that required safety, health and environmental training for the site is defined, addresses required content and is tracked to completion.
9. Serves as a SHE representative for Management of Change (MOC) reviews to evaluate and control potential health and safety hazards and environmental impacts associated with business activity changes.
10. Verifies the accuracy of data in the company’s SHE database (e.g., Entropy) and analyzes the data to identify loss trends that can contribute to injuries and illnesses, adverse environmental impacts and SHE process non-conformances.
11. Drives site injury reduction plan activities to deliver on physical risk reduction and culture change.
12. Supports the deployment of employee-driven safety and environmental teams and facilitates technical support for team activities that promote a safe, healthy and environmentally responsible workplace.
13. Partners with operations, human resources and medical teams to effectively manage return-to-work programs for work-related injuries and illnesses.
14. Partners with SCJ Job Sponsors to manage onsite project-related activities consistent with SCJ’s High-Hazard Work Authorization Standards.
15. Provides input on site-level SHE goals and budgets.
