About this Role:
The Safety Manager is responsible for leading Environmental, Health & Safety (EHS) performance in an active manufacturing facility while coordinating safety oversight for construction activities occurring inside the plant. This role ensures safe operations for employees, contractors, and visitors by integrating plant EHS programs with construction safety requirements, including contractor management, permit-to-work controls, LOTO coordination, hot work, confined space, and strict separation of production and construction areas.
Key Responsibilities:
- Manage contractor safety program execution: onboarding, prequalification coordination, orientation, JHA/JSA review, and ongoing compliance.
- Ensure construction activities comply with OSHA, site-specific rules, and project safety plans (fall protection, scaffolding, crane/lift plans, excavation, electrical, etc.).
- Coordinate high-risk work permits and controls: hot work permits, confined space permits, energized work restrictions, line breaks, elevated work, and lifting operations.
- Partner with Plant Operations, Maintenance, and Project/Construction Managers to plan work so production and construction coexist safely (area controls, barricading, signage, access routes, staging).
- Verify that isolations and plant tie-ins are planned and executed safely (LOTO coordination, outage planning, verification of zero energy state).
- Participate in preconstruction meetings, daily/weekly coordination meetings, and toolbox talks; stop work when imminent danger is present.
- Monitor housekeeping, material storage, egress routes, and fire protection impacts; ensure emergency equipment remains accessible.
- Carry out frequents dialogs with employees under the direct supervisory scope regarding performance, development, and other HR topics as required. Monitor employee productivity and provide constructive feedback and coaching.
- Lead day-to-day safety management for plant operations, including hazard identification, risk assessment, incident prevention, and corrective actions.
- Maintain and improve plant safety programs (e.g., LOTO, machine guarding, powered industrial trucks, ergonomics, hazardous energy control, chemical safety, PPE).
- Conduct routine safety inspections, behavior observations, and risk-based audits; track findings to closure.
- Prepare and submit performance reports. Supervise the work of a group of employees ensuring compliance with human resources policies and processes established in the organization, as well as Affirmative Action and Equal Employment Opportunity laws, ensuring an environment free from harassment.
- Perform other duties as required by your supervisor.
