• Identify, assess, and help mitigate both routine and non-routine safety and health hazards
• Conduct jobsite inspections, safety audits, and compliance reviews
• Establish and support branch and project safety goals
• Evaluate, approve, and help implement appropriate safety equipment and personal protective equipment (PPE)
