Safety Coordinator, RAD WHS

The Safety Coordinator is responsible for the proactive, day-to-day monitoring and execution of Amazon's Workplace Health & Safety (WHS) program at the site. Partnering closely with the Safety Manager, this individual monitors safety compliance, identifies and helps mitigate potential hazards within the warehouse environment, and serves as a visible, on-the-floor safety resource across all operational shifts. The qualified candidate engages professionally with the entire site workforce and leadership team to drive safety awareness, education, and a strong safety culture, and communicates clearly - both written and verbally - to correct unsafe conditions and reinforce safe behaviors.
