SAFETY ENGINEER
Safety engineers serve vital roles in a wide range of workplace settings,
including manufacturing and the service sector. Safety engineers' jobs re-
volve around implementing and maintaining safety policies, procedures and
equipment. Workers' lives can depend on safety engineers' thoroughness and
effectiveness. Because of this, safety engineer positions include strict appli-
cant requirements.
Safety Audits
Safety engineers regularly perform audits of the facilities, systemati-
cally checking various mechanical components and work processes to ensure
they are compliant with safety standards. Engineers will check things like
emergency switches for factory equipment, hardhats and hazard warning
systems on construction sites, and roller coaster machinery in theme parks.
Safety audits often include checking required safety documentation, such as
maintenance logs for equipment, to ensure that employees are following pro-
cedures.
Monitoring
Technology facilitates the gathering of large amounts of data. Part of a
safety engineer's job is to review a range of statistical reports on vital safety
issues. On any given day, a safety engineer may review reports showing the
percentage increase or decrease in reported accidents for the month, or the
number of times machinery has been shut down for maintenance, for exam-
ple. Engineers monitor these reports to spot potential safety hazards and
address issues early.
Safety Programs
It is the job of safety engineers to develop the formal safety compliance
programs of their companies or job sites. Engineers put policies in place to
implement a comprehensive safety program, so that all employees know their
duties and emergency procedures. Engineers continually assess current
safety standards, making changes as operations change.
Training
In addition to companywide safety policies, safety engineers may be re-
quired to create and lead training programs for new hires and existing em-
ployees. Employees must be trained in a range of safety procedures, such as
automatic external defibrillator (AED) operation, emergency evacuation pro-
cedures and hazard reporting systems. Safety engineers may conduct ad-
vanced training courses for employees with especially dangerous job roles.
Construction workers who work on high beams, for example, require special
training on the use of safety harnesses and safety-related communication on
the job.
