• 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.

• Experience: Minimum of 3–5 years of hands-on HSE experience in a heavy manufacturing environment (glass, steel, ceramics, chemical, or automotive manufacturing preferred).
