What are Safety Partners?

Safety Partners are professionals responsible for ensuring that workplaces comply with health and safety regulations and best practices. They work to identify potential hazards, develop and implement safety policies, and train staff on safety procedures. Safety Partners often conduct inspections, investigate incidents, and collaborate with management to promote a culture of safety. Their goal is to prevent accidents and create a safe working environment for all employees.

Safety Partners and Safety Coordinators both focus on workplace safety but differ mainly in scope. Safety Partners often engage in strategic safety planning and policy development, while Safety Coordinators handle daily safety inspections and compliance tasks. Both roles require safety certifications and industry experience, but Safety Partners typically work more collaboratively with management to develop safety programs, whereas Safety Coordinators focus on implementing safety procedures on the ground.

How does a Safety Partner typically collaborate with different departments to promote a culture of safety?

A Safety Partner works closely with various departments, such as operations, human resources, and facilities management, to identify risks and implement effective safety protocols. They often lead safety meetings, conduct training sessions, and facilitate open communication channels to foster awareness and compliance. By engaging directly with employees at all levels, Safety Partners help build a proactive safety culture, ensuring that best practices are understood and consistently followed throughout the organization.

What are the key skills and qualifications needed to thrive as a Safety Partner, and why are they important?

To thrive as a Safety Partner, you need a solid understanding of workplace safety regulations, risk assessment, and incident response, typically supported by a degree in occupational health and safety or a related field. Familiarity with safety management systems, incident reporting software, and certifications like OSHA or NEBOSH is highly valuable. Strong communication, attention to detail, and problem-solving skills set outstanding Safety Partners apart. These competencies are crucial to proactively identify hazards, ensure regulatory compliance, and foster a culture of safety within the organization.

Sentara Albemarle Medical Center, located in Elizabeth City, NC, serves northeastern North Carolina with a caring team of approximately 650 employees and 150 medical providers. We think of each other as family, with those bonds extending into our close-knit community and serving as the foundation for our patient care. Our 182-bed facility features 25 specialties including emergency, maternity, orthopedics, medical, and surgical care in addition to our outpatient laboratory, imaging, and comprehensive breast services. In 2022, Sentara broke ground on a new campus, a state-of-the-art 88-bed hospital to replace the current 60-year-old facility on North Road Street. The 135-acre campus, coming out of the ground at Halstead Boulevard Extended and Thunder Road, will be known as the Sentara Albemarle Regional Health Campus. It is projected to cost about 200 million, up from the original estimate of 158 million, due to sharp spikes in costs for building materials and medical equipment.
Sentara Health is an equal opportunity employer and prides itself on the diversity and inclusiveness of its close to an almost 30,000-member workforce. Diversity, inclusion, and belonging is a guiding principle of the organization to ensure its workforce reflects the communities it serves.
In support of our mission "to improve health every day," this is a tobacco-free environment.
For positions that are available as remote work, Sentara Health employs associates in the following states:
Alabama, Delaware, Florida, Georgia, Idaho, Indiana, Kansas, Louisiana, Maine, Maryland, Minnesota, Nebraska, Nevada, New Hampshire, North Carolina, North Dakota, Ohio, Oklahoma, Pennsylvania, South Carolina, South Dakota, Tennessee, Texas, Utah, Virginia, Washington, West Virginia, Wisconsin, and Wyoming.
