• Providing subject matter expertise to sites, projects, and leadership on health and safety systems, regulatory compliance, and risk management.
• Supporting sites in the implementation of corporate programs while allowing for site-specific risk profiles, operating models, and business realities.
• Applying Human and Organizational Performance principles to program design, learning processes, and continuous improvement initiatives.
• Supporting health and safety event classification, investigation frameworks, and analysis of trends to identify systemic improvement opportunities.
• Developing guidance materials, training resources, and communication tools that support the consistent and effective application of programs.
• Collaborating with operations, projects, and contractors to ensure programs are usable, scalable, and aligned with how work is actually performed.
