Essential Duties & Responsibilities

Machine Safety Field Presence & Engagement

• Maintain a visible EHS presence in production, warehouse, logistics, maintenance, and support areas.

• Engage employees and leaders on machine safety expectations, hazard recognition, safe behaviors, PPE use, and pre-use checks.

• Communicate safety findings to local production teams, including appropriate handoff through shift or area huddles.

• Provide respectful coaching, reinforce positive safety behaviors, and escalate concerns when additional support is needed.

Equipment Inspections & Risk Controls

• Conduct routine machine safety inspections and walkthroughs to identify hazards, unsafe conditions, damaged equipment, blocked access, housekeeping concerns, and control gaps.

• Support inspection of new or modified machinery following installation and before SAT/commissioning, in partnership with EHS, engineering, maintenance, and operations.

• Support EHS-led risk assessments by gathering field observations, employee input, task context, and exposure information.

• Verify that temporary controls remain effective until permanent corrective actions are completed.

LOTO, Guarding & High-Risk Work Support

• Reinforce expectations for guarding, safety devices, emergency stops, signage, and other critical machine safeguards.

• Support hazardous energy control expectations during cleaning, jam clearing, maintenance, troubleshooting, and other non-routine work.

• Identify potential gaps in procedures, training, verification steps, or work practices and coordinate follow-up with EHS and area leadership.

• Escalate immediate or uncontrolled machine safety risks in accordance with site EHS procedures.

Incident Follow-up & Corrective Actions

• Follow up on machine-related observations, near misses, injuries, property damage, and other incidents as directed by EHS leadership.

• Gather accurate incident information and support root cause discussions, corrective action tracking, retraining needs, and recurrence prevention.

• Ensure safety issues are logged appropriately and that action plans are assigned, tracked, and communicated.

• Monitor repeat findings or overdue actions and escalate when plans are delayed, ineffective, or require additional resources.

EHS Integration & Site Support

• Support broader EHS activities when they intersect with machine safety, including PPE compliance, hazard communication, minor spill response, ergonomics, traffic flow, and contractor work controls.

• Provide field input during equipment changes, layout adjustments, process modifications, maintenance work, and project activity.

• Assist with contractor safety verification, work permit awareness, and JSA expectations where machine or equipment hazards are present.

• Partner with EHS to promote compliance with site procedures, OSHA General Industry expectations, and LEGO safety standards.

Documentation, Metrics & Continuous Improvement

• Complete inspections, observations, incident notes, and corrective action updates accurately and on time.

• Track and communicate leading indicators such as hazard reports, near misses, machine safety findings, repeat deficiencies, and corrective action status.

• Use field data and employee feedback to identify trends and recommend practical improvements that reduce risk and strengthen safety culture.

Safety Authority & Escalation

• Intervene when unsafe conditions or behaviors are observed and escalate through EHS and area leadership as appropriate.

• Stop work when imminent danger exists or when work cannot be performed safely.

• Support timely resolution of safety concerns while maintaining clear communication with impacted teams.

Key Performance Indicators

• Timely completion of assigned inspections, observations, documentation, and corrective action follow-up.

• Quality and accuracy of machine safety findings, incident information, and handoff to local production teams.

• Reduction in repeat findings, unresolved machine safety concerns, and overdue corrective actions.

• Improved reporting of hazards, near misses, and employee safety concerns.

• Effective engagement with employees, supervisors, maintenance, engineering, contractors, and EHS partners.

Minimum Qualifications

• High school diploma or GED required.

• 0-2 years of experience in manufacturing, logistics, warehousing, industrial operations, maintenance support, engineering support, or EHS-related work.

• Interest in developing knowledge of machine safety, OSHA General Industry requirements, guarding, LOTO, PPE, ergonomics, and hazard recognition.

• Ability to work independently on the production floor while knowing when to escalate concerns.

• Strong communication, coaching, documentation, and follow-up skills with hourly and salaried employees.

• Comfort using basic computer applications, inspection tools, and reporting systems.

• Ability to work a shift-based schedule and support multiple operating areas as needed.

Preferred Qualifications

• Associate degree, technical certificate, or coursework in Environmental Health and Safety, Occupational Safety, Industrial Technology, Engineering, Maintenance, or a related field.

• Experience in a manufacturing, machine-paced, maintenance, or EHS support environment.

• Basic familiarity with machine guarding, emergency stops, interlocks, conveyors, robotics, automated systems, or similar equipment controls.

• Familiarity with PIT operations, pedestrian safety, ergonomic risk factors, contractor safety, incident follow-up, or continuous improvement activities.
