Performance Monitoring & Reporting

• Collect, analyze, and report on leading and lagging indicators (e.g., TRIR, DART, near-miss reporting rates, corrective action closure) to Sr. Safety Manager and site leadership.
• Identify trends or emerging risks and recommend process improvements to reduce incidents and enhance safety metrics.
  
  

Stakeholder Collaboration

• Partner with project managers, operations leads, engineering, and subcontractor safety coordinators to integrate safety requirements into project plans, scopes of work, and procurement processes.
• Serve as the primary safety liaison during project kickoff meetings, design reviews, and pre-mobilization planning sessions.
  
  

Emergency Preparedness & Response

• Assist in maintaining and periodically testing site Emergency Action Plans (EAP), including evacuation drills, muster point assignments, and communication protocols.
• Support Incident Command functions during emergencies by coordinating on-site resources, notifications, and post-incident documentation.
  
  

Continuous Improvement & Best Practices

• Stay up to date with industry best practices, regulatory changes, and emerging safety technologies.
