Safety Manager

Safety Managers generally work on job sites like construction areas, manufacturing plants and warehouses to monitor safety practices and respond to incidents. The role of a Safety Manager is to act as a resource for coworkers about how to uphold regulatory safety standards and complete tasks while limiting risk of bodily injury. Safety Managers share knowledge with their team by conducting training and creating informational materials that they post around the workplace. Safety Managers also handle administrative aspects of workplace safety like applying for permits, purchasing safety equipment and investing in designs that limit risk. They confirm that all of their employees have the appropriate certifications to operate heavy machinery and set standards for testing and maintenance to prevent dangerous malfunctions.
