Position Definition

Under general supervision, the Administrator oversees the development and implementation of safety and health training programs for American States Utility Services. As a professional within the Environmental Health and Safety Department, the incumbent provides technical knowledge and expertise in the operation and support of the health and safety programs to ensure compliance with regulatory requirements and federal and state guidelines.

Accountability

As a skilled employee and responsible professional, the incumbent must work independently, exercise initiative and judgment in the performance of a broad range of support responsibilities in an environment of routinely sensitive and confidential issues. Therefore, the employee must have strong organizational and interpersonal skills to deal effectively with all levels of the Company’s management staff, visitors and vendors.

The Safety Program Administrator is accountable for analyzing work environments and designing programs to control, eliminate, and prevent disease or injury. These programs may include designing safe work spaces, inspecting machines, and training employees on these hazards. These programs are aimed at increasing worker productivity by reducing absenteeism and equipment downtime. The Administrator looks for physical, chemical, and various safety hazards, in addition to working to make equipment more ergonomic — designed to promote proper body positioning, increase worker comfort, and decrease fatigue. If an injury or illness occurs, the Administrator will assist the Environmental Health and Safety Manager on a review of the injury/illness, and studies its causes and recommends remedial action.

The incumbent is accountable for staying abreast of applicable changes to safety regulations through appropriate workshops, conferences, meetings, and reference materials.

Key Competencies

The Administrator must routinely establish and maintain cooperative relationships with those contacted in the course of work with the competencies to assess all appropriate safety precautions as required by the company or by law.
