Industrial Safety Officer
Your morning begins with a toolbox talk for 80 contract workers at a chemical plant before a high-risk confined space entry job — briefing them on gas testing procedures, rescue plans, and permit-to-work requirements. Afternoons are spent investigating a near-miss incident involving a forklift and a pedestrian, conducting a root cause analysis, updating safety procedures, and preparing a quarterly safety performance report for the Plant Head.
