- Work with supervisors, and workers on safe work practices, hazard recognition, and the proper use of PPE and equipment.
- Investigate incidents, near-misses, and property damage events; complete root cause analyses and ensure corrective actions are tracked to closure.
- Deliver site-specific orientations, toolbox talks, and ongoing safety training to employees and subcontractors.
- Liaise with customer safety representatives, the Ministry of Labour, Immigration, Training and Skills Development (MLITSD), WSIB, and other regulatory bodies as required.
- Maintain organized, audit-ready safety records and assist with internal and customer-led audits, including COR™ / SECOR audits.
- Support emergency response planning, drills, and on-site emergency response when required.
- Assist Joint Health and Safety Committee (JHSC) activities, including monthly inspections and meetings.
