• • Conduct regular site audits, inspections and OSHA-compliance checks; document findings and track corrective actions.
• • Lead incident investigations and root cause analyses; produce reports and implement corrective/preventive measures.
• • Run toolbox talks, safety meetings, training sessions and monitor leading/lagging safety indicators across projects.

What we're looking for
