CORE RESPONSIBILITIES AND TASKS:

- Develop, review and support resin manufacturing sites on process safety initiatives:

1. Review compliance and risk status an assigned group of PSM / resin production facilities. Support these sites through the following activities:
   • Process Hazard Analyses
   • Process Safety Management Audits
   • Self-Assessments from Monomer, Peroxides, and Flammable storage standards
   • Third party resin production safety reviews

• Work with sites to execute a multi-year capital allocation and for resin sites.
• Manage and oversee a resin scorecard and report out for sites to share execution of funding and improvements plans.
• Partner with the resin Community of Practice to communicate and share best practices across the sites.
• Lead and facilitate PHAs with assigned sites. Use the events to teach and coach others to become competent PHA facilitators.
• Work with assigned sites to advance through the PSM scorecard to achieve a level 2 or higher in all elements.
• Support sites to advance and execute projects. Hold recurring meetings with sites on status of execution and completion of PSM action plans and projects.

- Risk Analysis, Prevention & Investigations:

• Manage resin risk assessment and related action plans for assigned sites. Work with EHS site leaders to ensure action are on tactical plans and included in the CapEx budget.
• Work with resin sites to prioritize and risk rank action plans and hold routine closure status calls.
• Participate in post event / incident investigations with site and regional teams. Support teams in the root cause analysis and the determination of appropriate controls to prevent recurrence.

- Training & Support:

• Develop resin training and resources to build technical and EHS competence across all resin sites from reactor operators to leadership.
• Build competence and awareness through technical talks and Setting the Tones.
• Facilitate communication and training on resin operations through the Community of Practice.

- Compliance / Legal:

• Participate in or lead select PSM audits for resin sites.
• Participate or lead select Process Hazard Analyses for resin sites.
• Work with resin site PMs, EHS managers and regional EHS directors on compliance issues at resin locations.
