Objective:

The EHS intern hired will be introduced to the EHS & Risk Management environment through practical exercise and review as well as theoretical learning through conversation, presentations, and multiple educational resources. It will be the goal of the Risk and Safety team to supply the intern with a well-rounded introduction to the legal system, regulatory bodies involved in the safety industry, basic medical knowledge, and general investigative/inspection practices. The program will allow the intern to get hands on practice with investigating injuries, root cause analysis, and good record keeping practices.

Daily duties:

• Review open investigations for any needs and updates
• Review MOD logs for any risk related topics that may need attention
• Meet with EHS Manager or Safety Director for any impromptu assignments

Weekly duties:

• Conduct at least one EHS field inspection and complete necessary report
• Review Trustlayer compliance dashboard for any needed action
• Attend any scheduled meetings, in person or virtual

Projects:

• OSHA 10 or 30 certification, if possible

Intern considerations:

                After hire, the intern will complete a questionnaire outlining their goals and objectives for the program and what they believe their career path will be so that a focus can be established for their time in the internship. Further, they will be given an end of program completion project which will essentially be a summary of their experiences during the internship so that they can immediately begin documenting these experiences from their first day on.
