Our work includes industrial/manufacturing, commercial, residential, municipal, land development, and healthcare projects. JOB DESCRIPTION The Safety Coordinator is the technical safety expert for all office, field staff, and subcontractors. Maintain the safety policy and keep it up-to-date with new rules and regulations, industry best practices, and internal changes; including normal OSHA MSDS sheets. Make the safety standards known to all employees and subcontractors so they are aware of the expectations. Be available during work hours to answer questions from stakeholders and guide safe decision-making. Serve as the point of contact whenever OSHA is present on a job site. Set up jobsite-specific safety plans at project onset and coordinate with PMs to implement safety measures. Coordinate with the Controller on insurance-related job site visits and be present for walkthroughs when feasible. Act as the point of contact for reporting injuries or work comp claims and coordinate with the Controller to ensure injured employees receive appropriate care. Monitor the use of company vehicles and equipment to ensure fleet safety, driver safety, and compliance with training requirements (e.g., OSHA forklift and related equipment).
