Occupational Safety Health Lead

The OSH Lead coordinates and enforces OSH compliance execution across assigned PH sites, ensuring DOLE compliance is provable through audit-ready records (drills, inspections, training, incident logs, corrective actions, and required submissions). The role owns the standard OSH reporting and emergency response operating model (processes, templates, training, cadence, and evidence) deployed consistently across all sites. The OSH Lead owns end-to-end incident capture across all reporting channels (Wellness, Security, Places, Operations), ensuring events that do not reach the clinic are still logged, triaged, documented, and addressed.

The OSH Lead leads emergency preparedness, response coordination, and post-incident validation across shifts, partnering with Places, Operations, Security, Wellness & People Teams, and WFM to align onsite headcount (including contractors) with required OSH staffing and compliance requirements. This is a hands-on, execution-heavy role measured by readiness, documentation discipline, and consistent closure of risks and findings.

Key Responsibilities

• Own end-to-end incident capture and triage across all channels (Wellness, Security, Places, Operations), enforcing a single reporting workflow, correct classification/escalation, and complete evidence

• Run governance cadence (OSH committees, incident reviews, readiness checks, compliance reviews) with documented minutes and action tracking
• Maintain Safety Officer staffing and coverage plans based on onsite headcount (including contractors), operating hours, and risk profile; reconcile rosters with People teams, Places, WFM and flag gaps early
• Define and track Safety Officer output expectations (inspections/logs, committee support, incident documentation support, action closure)
• Ensure OSH committees and worker representation requirements are met with complete documentation and follow-through
• Maintain training matrix and competency tracking; coordinate awareness sessions and qualification plans to close gaps (including Safety Officer levels)
• Ensure compliant disposal of retired assets and regulated waste (e-waste, busted fluorescent lamps) via permitted/accredited vendors, with complete audit evidence retained (manifests, Certificates of Treatment/Destruction)
