What are the responsibilities and job description for the Electrical Safety Specialist position at Safety Worxs, LLC?
Safety Worxs is seeking a hands-on Electrical Safety Specialist to own and drive our Lockout/Tagout (LOTO) and electrical safety programs across facilities in Honolulu, HI.

If your background is in industrial electrical work, electrical safety coordination, or EHS with a deep focus on electrical hazard control, this role is built for you.
