This position will assist with implementing programs to drive a culture of safety.

Essential Duties and Responsibilities:

Safety:
  • Foster/develop a culture where safety is ingrained as a core value with all employees, everyone believes zero incident rate is achievable, everyone is actively engaged in performing their work in a safe manner, and everyone actively interacts with co-workers to prevent at-risk behaviors.
