Scope of Position: Charged with developing, executing, and continuously improving the contractor’s integrated Safety and Health Program in strict accordance with EM 385-1-1, OSHA CFR standards, and GLWACH safety directives.

• Draft, peer-review, and update the Site Safety and Health Plan, incorporating Facility Condition Assessment (FCA) findings and “lessons learned” from prior contract phases.
• Perform daily high-hazard-area inspections (e.g., Central Plant, Lab Spaces, Mechanical Rooms); issue and track safety deficiency reports through closure via the contractor’s digital safety management system.
• Organize and facilitate monthly Joint Safety Audits with government safety officers, documenting findings, corrective-action deadlines, and verification of corrective effectiveness.
• Training & Competency:
• Develop and deliver role-based safety curricula covering OSHA 30-hour topics, EM 385-1-1 supervisory training, Fall Protection, Lockout/Tagout, Confined Space Entry, and Hazardous Materials handling.
• Coordinate quarterly multi-trade safety stand-down events, integrating hands-on drills and tabletop exercises for incident-command readiness.
• Incident Response & Reporting:
• Oversee the incident-command system during emergencies (e.g., chemical spills, equipment failures, fire alarms), providing on-scene leadership and coordinating with on-base fire, EMS, and preventive medicine units.
• Lead root-cause analyses (TapRooT, 5-Why) for all recordable incidents and near-misses; develop, implement, and monitor corrective-action plans, reporting progress in weekly safety-performance dashboards.
• Regulatory Liaison:
• Serve as the contractor’s single point-of-contact for TJC, DLA Safety, and OSHA during formal government inspections; prepare and present safety metrics, training records, and program documentation.
