The Safety Manager functions as a highly autonomous, field-facing leader who conducts inspections, investigates incidents, and manages safety initiatives. While this role has no direct reports, it exercises significant influence and leadership across all On-site services, Culinary services and Corporate operations. This role will also serve as a back-up to the Workers Compensation Specialist, whose role serves as the primary liaison between the company and our Third-Party Administrator (TPA) in overseeing workers' compensation claims and administration.

  • Serve as the primary liaison for the Nurse Triage Program and ReEmployability Program.

Inspections, Audits & Compliance
  • Conduct routine and ad-hoc safety inspections and compliance audits at Culinary Centers, Distribution Depots, On-Site Locations, and other company locations.
  • Identify hazards, document deficiencies, write site-visit report with safety-improvement recommendations, and work with site leadership to implement timely corrective actions.
  • Partner with Fleet Management to review driver logs, pre-trip and post-trip inspections, and fleet safety compliance.

Incident Investigation & Root Cause Analysis
  • Respond to workplace injuries, accidents, and near-miss events in a timely and professional manner.
  • Lead incident investigations to determine root causes and contributing factors.
  • Prepare formal written investigation reports and submit them to the Director of Safety and relevant leadership.
  • Partner with site leadership to develop, implement, and track corrective and preventive actions.

Training & Safety Engagement
  • Manage and coordinate safety training, and toolbox talks across facilities and On-Site Locations.
  • Facilitate Safety Committee meetings and safety engagement activities.
  • Ensure all required safety postings, emergency information, and regulatory notices are current and properly displayed.

Reporting, Documentation & Data Management
  • Maintain accurate OSHA logs, injury records, training documentation, and audit reports.
  • Track incident trends, corrective action status, and training completion.
  • Prepare safety summaries, metrics, and reports for leadership and regulatory needs.

Continuous Improvement & Risk Reduction
  • Proactively identify opportunities to reduce injuries, fleet incidents, and operational risk.
  • Stay current on OSHA regulations, foodservice and logistics safety standards, and industry best practices.
  • Support special projects, audits, and company-wide safety initiatives as assigned.

Claims Management & Administration
  • Serve as back-up to the Workers Compensation Specialist who is the primary point of contact with the Third-Party Administrator (TPA) for workers' compensation claims and administration.

Special Projects
  • Adapt to evolving organizational priorities by taking on special assignments and interim responsibilities as requested.
  • Participate in system upgrades or reporting enhancements related to safety, workers' compensation, and risk management.
