• Facilitate new hire and refresher safety training for drivers, warehouse personnel, and field staff.
• Serve as a key point of contact for third-party safety and compliance vendors, ensuring timely data integrity and reporting accuracy.
• Support customer and leadership reporting by compiling, analyzing, and communicating safety performance metrics.
