Be a subject matter expert (SME) for health and safety standards, policies, and practices including but not limited to electrical, structural, critical equipment, hot work, chemical safety, risk assessments, industrial hygiene assessments, and life and fire protection.

• Manage the day-to-day operational activities of VF’s Critical Life Safety (CLS) programs used to address critical electrical, fire, and structural safety issues. This includes developing and delivering training to factories, providing technical capacity building, assisting in the development of Corrective Action Plans (CAPs), monitoring, and remediation support.
• Assist in the development and maintenance of project costs, budgets, and accounting records.
• Regularly review safety performance with factories, VF management, and industry partners to ensure the safety programs are mitigating risk for workers and creating value at the factories which support them.
• Conduct ongoing risk assessments to ensure the greatest risks are being prioritized. Collaborate closely with third-party safety firms to determine localized, risked based needs and bridge any gaps with results-focused solutions.
• Analyze CLS reports and arrange review sessions with factory management to confirm their comprehension of the findings. Provide technical support, timelines, and priorities based on these findings to promote a safe working environment in terms of an assigned CAP.
• Conduct on-site visits to factory locations to follow up on safety-related matters. These visits may include inspection of fire safety equipment, testing of fire hydrants, review of emergency water supplies, and other life safety equipment.
• Conduct reviews of electrical Single Line Diagrams (SLD), Lightning Protection Systems (LPS), and Detailed Engineering Assessments (DEA) to comply with program/legal requirements. Assist the factory to develop a compliant Centralized Fire Detection System (CFDS), sprinkler, and hydrant design to meet required standards/legal requirements.
• Investigate accidents and incidents to determine the root cause and assist in the development of prevention measures for further incidents.
• Provide Health and Safety training programs, best practices, and self-monitoring tools to workers and management in VF facilities, which will both educate and empower the attendees to take ownership over safety in their facility.
• Actively participate in technical working groups for industry safety programs to review operational SOPs, training standards, and technical challenges.
• Assist in the development and maintenance of a factory-lead Occupational Health and Safety (OHS) and Health Safety Management Systems (HSMS) program to sustain a culture of safety at facilities.
• Utilize available data to track and report the progress of all safety factory-based programs.
