Hazard Identification & Risk Assessment:
Conduct continuous Job Hazard Analyses (JHA) and Risk Assessments across all plant zones, specifically targeting high-risk glass manufacturing areas (furnaces, hot-end/cold-end processing, cutting, lamination, and heavy glass handling).
Regulatory Compliance & Audits:
Ensure site adherence to national occupational health and environmental laws and international standards (e.g., ISO 45001, ISO 14001, OSHA). Conduct daily plant inspections and periodic internal HSE audits.
Incident Investigation & Root Cause Analysis:
Lead investigations for all workplace incidents, accidents, illnesses, and near-misses. Prepare detailed root-cause analysis reports and track corrective and preventive action (CAPA) plans.
Glass Manufacturing Safety Controls:
Enforce machine guarding compliance for automatic cutting, grinding, tempering, and conveying lines.
Oversee Lockout/Tagout (LOTO) protocols during furnace maintenance, mechanical repairs, and hot-end line servicing.
Implement strict cut-resistant Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) standards (e.g., Kevlar sleeves, cut-resistant gloves, eye/face protection, steel-toe footwear).
Industrial Hygiene & Environmental Management:
Monitor silica dust, airborne particulates, noise levels, and ambient thermal stress (heat exposure) near melting furnaces.
Oversee waste management, hazardous chemical handling/storage (e.g., glass etching acids, lubricants), wastewater treatment, and atmospheric emissions compliance.
Training & Emergency Preparedness:
Organize and deliver HSE onboarding, daily toolbox talks, specialized safety modules, and emergency response drills (fire prevention, furnace leak/breakout protocols, chemical spills).
Reporting & Performance Tracking:
Maintain accurate HSE metrics (TRIR, LTIR, near-miss reports, waste tracking) and present safety statistics and action plans to plant leadership.
Requirements
Education:
Bachelor’s degree in occupational health and safety, Environmental Science, Chemical Engineering, Industrial Engineering, or a related discipline.
