Deliver safety training programs (virtual and in-person), including OSHA-related education and forklift training

Conduct OSHA audits, workers' compensation audits, and support OSHA 300A reporting
Maintain accurate documentation of safety training, compliance activities, and program effectiveness
Monitor and evaluate safety policies, training, and procedures for continuous improvement
Identify unsafe conditions and behaviors and recommend corrective actions
Partner with client leadership and employees to promote a proactive safety culture
Provide guidance to internal leadership regarding elevated or borderline client risk exposure
Adapt quickly to changing priorities and step in to support client needs as they arise
Participate in early morning or nontraditional training schedules based on client demand
