The PSP will also participate in emergency response events and drills.

• Provide safety training and evaluate employees' Life Critical skills. Assess safety risks within facilities and project scopes, then develop and execute appropriate risk- mitigation plans.
• Support project-related work by reviewing and approving Commissioning, Decommissioning, and Recommissioning Plans; Management of Change documentation; Energy Isolation plans; and other safety-support plans. Support the field execution of safety programs, including Life Critical, Contractor Safety, Industrial Hygiene, and AWARE.
• Review Life Critical tasks, work permits, excavations, and lift plans to identify and correct deficiencies and opportunities for improvement. Conduct audits and job-site visits to identify and mitigate hazards and address compliance or conformance issues.
• Provide input in the development and review of operations and safety procedures and standards. Serve as an advocate for front line employees to support, educate and help them work safely.
• Respond to emergency events and serve within the Incident Command System (ICS). Responsibilities may include air monitoring, developing health and safety plans, and performing other response actions as needed. Perform other duties as assigned.
• Mentor less experienced members of the team.
• Support Operations in maintaining or pursuing OSHA Voluntary Protection Programs certification.
