San Dimas, CA
About the Job
POSITION DEFINITION:
As a professional within the Environmental Quality Department, the incumbent provides technical knowledge and expertise in the operation and support of the health and safety programs to ensure compliance with regulatory requirements and federal and state guidelines.
ACCOUNTABILITY:
As a skilled employee and responsible professional, the incumbent must work independently, exercise initiative and judgment in the performance of a broad range of support responsibilities in an environment of routinely sensitive and confidential issues. Therefore, the employee must have strong organizational and interpersonal skills to deal effectively with all levels of the Company’s management staff, visitors, and vendors.
The Health and Safety Specialist is accountable for analyzing work environments and designing programs to control, eliminate, and prevent disease or injury. These programs may include designing safe workspaces, inspecting machines, and/or testing air quality. These programs are aimed at increasing worker productivity by reducing absenteeism and equipment downtime — resulting in saving money for the company by lowering insurance premiums and workers’ compensation. The Specialist looks for physical, chemical, radiological, and biological hazards, in addition to working to make equipment more ergonomic — designed to promote proper body positioning, increase worker comfort, and decrease fatigue. If an injury or illness occurs, the Specialist investigates, studies its causes, and recommends remedial action. The incumbent is accountable for staying abreast of applicable changes to safety regulations through appropriate workshops, conferences, meetings, and reference materials.
