• Support emergency response activities and assist with the implementation of established emergency procedures.
• Participate in incident investigations, root cause analysis, documentation, and development of corrective actions designed to prevent recurrence.
• Prepare and maintain reports related to project safety performance, inspections, audits, incidents, and corrective actions.
• Develop and deliver jobsite safety training for field and office personnel.
• Assist with safety orientation and reorientation for new and existing employees as needed.
• Collaborate with project managers and field leadership to address safety concerns and continuously improve jobsite safety practices.
• Perform additional safety-related responsibilities as required to support project and organizational needs.
