  11. Engage the Injury Prevention Specialists (IPS) and Site Leadership to drive long-term strategic actions to achieve incident reduction.
  12. Perform targeted Kaizen events in partnership with the Operations teams based on the risks identified in each task (force, repetition, and awkward postures).
  13. Ensure site leadership and associates are trained and knowledgeable of their responsibilities under each policy.
  14. Audit the quality, delivery (including qualifications of the trainer), and effectiveness of all required safety training.
  15. Review for effectiveness the deployed safety tools and revise to ensure continual improvement.
  16. Partner with corporate and other regional field safety personnel to leverage global safety and environmental best practices into NA network standards.
