Job description
Safety Coordinator Job Summary We're looking for a Safety Coordinator to join a manufacturing team in Salt Lake City, UT, where safety isn't a checkbox — it's a core value built into every shift. This is a Monday-Friday role with a consistent daytime schedule, giving you the stability to do meaningful compliance and culture-building work without the unpredictability of rotating shifts. If you have hands-on EHS experience in a manufacturing environment and want a role where your work directly protects people, this one is worth a close look. What You'll Do
- Implement and maintain site-specific safety and environmental programs in compliance with OSHA and EPA regulations
- Conduct employee safety training, environmental awareness programs, and emergency response drills
- Investigate workplace accidents and injuries — identify root causes and drive corrective actions
- Inspect facilities, machinery, and safety equipment to identify and correct hazards before they become incidents
- Manage the SDS program, including reviewing new chemical products and ensuring affected employees are trained on safe handling
- Collaborate with supervisors to complete job hazard analyses and PPE assessments
- Support hazardous and non-hazardous waste management, including proper disposal and regulatory recordkeeping
- Assist with Workers' Compensation program coordination and incident reporting
- Champion facility-wide sustainability efforts including recycling, waste minimization, and pollution prevention
- Associate's degree in a related field (Environmental Health & Safety, Occupational Safety, or similar)
- At least 1 year of EHS experience in a manufacturing environment
- Working knowledge of OSHA standards and EPA regulations
- Ability to obtain OSHA 30-Hour certification, RCRA Hazardous Waste training, and DOT Hazardous Materials certification
- Must be a U.S. Person — this position supports a Department of Defense contractor and visa sponsorship is not available
- Bachelor's degree in a related discipline
- Prior experience conducting regulatory training and presenting to mixed audiences
- Familiarity with industrial hygiene programs
- Proficiency in Microsoft Word, Excel, and PowerPoint
