Job Description

Have you ever been an operations or plant production manager and are ready to consider a logical transition into a safety management role? Afterall, you know the work, the machinery, and how to make workflow efficient. You also know how important it is to hold everyone accountable to doing the things that actually make them safe on the job – wearing eye protection, gloves, etc.

At the end of the day, we are all responsible for creating a safe work environment – safety is in the little choices we make. As we see it, there are two functions to making safety management work well within an organization – walking around and enforcing behaviors/expectations that keep people safe, and all the regulatory reporting that must happen. We are looking for someone who protects the company, the employee and the employee’s family. This person should balance being a visible and regular presence in the company, while also getting all the paperwork done both timely and with 100% accuracy. If you are already good at what you do and ready to teach the rest of us how to live safety in our day-to-day, we might be a good fit for you.

NOTE: No egomaniacs needed. If you are driven by possessing “power" this company is not right for you. If you are a people-pleaser that is easily drawn into stories and excuses, we cannot use you. We need a logical, reliable, process driven, highly collaborative and result-oriented individual who understands that this company is successful based on our values of operational excellence and workplace safety. We collaborate constantly, every person and every department, to be successful at what we do by flawlessly executing each and every task. Everything the Safety and Regulatory department does, and we mean everything, allows the company and its people to grow. Rocky Mountain Air does things well, and we do them right the first time. We provide structure through process and procedure, then we follow those processes and procedures by the book. We are not perfect, and we never will be, but we will continue to strive to be better tomorrow than we were today. And damn near perfect is our goal. If this is you, or sounds like you, we could use you on our team.

Essential Functions :

• enforce a strong safety culture through regular interaction within the organization, focusing on identifying hazards, conducting Root Cause Analysis, and minimizing various regulatory citations through effective procedures and safety programs.
• conduct regular safety audits and facility inspections to help employees become more effective and hold them accountable to compliance expectations
• manage all accident investigations and claims, including serving as the main contact for related activities with external parties like insurance companies
• manage compliance with regulations. This will require ensuring timely reporting, maintenance of compliance records, research/implementation of evolving regulations from various bodies, including FDA, DOT, OSHA, EPA, Homeland Security, and local governments
• manage employee safety training
• manage random drug screenings for DOT compliance

Key Competencies : The role requires a strong ability to lead, communicate and drive process efficiency while maintaining regulatory compliance in the various aspects of day-to-day operations. This manager should be able to develop new processes as needed.

Experience and Skills : The role requires 5-10 years of experience in safety and regulatory compliance management, cylinder fill plant management, or compressed gas operations management, a B.S. degree, knowledge of FDA, DOT, and OSHA guidelines, and strong communication skills. We would prefer direct experience with compressed gas plant production safety.
