• Maintain detailed records of employee training, safety incidents, inspections/audits, corrective actions, and other employee compliance programs.
• Manage safety records and ensure compliance with third-party client safety audit platforms (e.g., Avetta, ISN).

Incident Investigation and Reporting

• Build and maintain a robust incident management system (IMS), including communication, reporting procedures, coordination with local urgent cares, and the third-party on-call incident intervention contractor (e.g., Nurse Triage).
• Lead investigations into workplace accidents, injuries, and near misses, identify root causes, and implement corrective actions.
• Manage the employees' return-to-work program.

Hazard Assessment, Prevention, and Control

• Conduct or oversee regular safety audits and risk assessments across all company locations to identify and reduce risks and hazards.
• Identify and maintain appropriate engineering, administration, and personal protective equipment (PPE) controls for hazard mitigation.
