About The Position

As a Safety Supervisor, you will assist in the supervision and administration of the Harris’ health, safety and motor vehicle programs to maintain a safe and healthy work environment. You will contribute to the desired safety and work culture of the organization. This role involves controlling hazardous working conditions and unsafe employee activities through interface with project management/supervisory personnel, and assisting in the supervision and administration of safety/first aid and rescue squad activities. You will assume total responsibility for safety operation when assigned to shift work. The position also includes participating in developing and conducting employee orientation training, task specific training, ongoing supervisor training, and assisting in developing/training project manager safety. Responsibilities include conducting work area surveillance inspections, air-sampling tests for confined space entry, property damage and personal injury investigations. You will document all accidents, safety violations, unsafe conditions/activities, and issue confined area entry and “hot work” permits as required. You will accompany safety, health and insurance inspections on walk through tours as required and review safety-related journals, catalogues, etc., to keep abreast of changes/improvements in protective safety equipment, materials, and gear. Additionally, you will assist in preparing written appeals for safety violation citations and input/retrieve data from Industry Safe management software. As part of the site safety team, you will be responsible for the safety of Harris’ work, be an active member of the overall project safety team, and work together with other safety professionals at the project to create an exceptional safety experience for the entire project. This includes participating in or leading training sessions specific to the project, developing, implementing, evaluating, and maintaining Harris’ site-specific safety plan, coordinating safety-badging and substance abuse screening, and delivering safety orientations. You will provide guidance and expertise for mechanical contracting safety, conduct specific training regarding mechanical contracting safety to others at the project, and actively participate in site safety audits and assessments. You will issue, review, and close out hot work permits, dig permits, and pre-task planning safety cards. Active participation in project meetings including tool box talks, subcontractor meetings, site safety committees, plan of the day meetings, and foreman meetings is expected. You will actively manage safety on the site by walking and assessing the project throughout each day, spot checking pre-task plans, hot work, and dig permits, and participating in worker-to-worker observation exercises. You will provide timely incident analysis reports for serious near miss, injury, and property damage incidents. You will actively support and participate in injury case management by working with the project safety team to develop and enforce a return-to-work/restricted duty program. You will actively participate in the site emergency response and crisis management plans, participate in mock-drills, and periodically lead the daily stretch-and-bend program. Ensuring that Harris’ workers actively participate and are ready for work each day is crucial. You will actively participate in the development and execution of Harris’ integrated work plans and job hazard analysis, and help develop a proactive recognition and reward system. You will provide monthly statistical reports for Recordable Incident Rate, Days Away Restricted or Transferred, near miss reporting, and hazard recognition reporting, as well as leading indicator reports such as percent of training completed by trade, number of audits/assessments completed, number of craft worker to worker observations completed, and number of craft hazard recognitions submitted. In terms of Safety Supplies/Equipment Coordination, you will pick supply orders for shipment to job sites and restock, maintain equipment storage areas to ensure inventory is protected, and ensure all items are stored according to fieldwork procedures and company standards.
