Industrial Safety Coordinator

Purpose of Role

The Industrial Safety Coordinator serves as the primary MSHA-focused safety representative for assigned active mine-site work. This role supports safe execution by monitoring compliance with MSHA regulations, company policies, and contractor/mine-site requirements; coordinating with mine management and contractors; conducting inspections and training; and promoting a proactive safety culture. While the role may support industrial or construction scopes where needed, the primary scope is mine-site safety coverage and MSHA readiness.

Partner with contractors, mine management, GTI leadership, and site personnel to verify worker readiness, review JHAs/SWPs/permits, support pre-job planning, and maintain required safety documentation.

• Improvements to orientation, toolbox talk, emergency drill, inspection, or training-record workflows.

Escalates:

• Imminent danger, serious hazards, unsafe work practices, or repeated noncompliance.
• Missing or expired MSHA/site-specific training, certifications, qualifications, or other access-readiness concerns.
• Incidents, near misses, regulatory concerns, hazardous material issues, or PPE/safety equipment gaps requiring management action.

• Mine-site safety & compliance: MSHA regulatory knowledge; mine-site hazard recognition; health and safety regulatory compliance; safety inspections/audits; JHAs, SWPs, permits, and risk assessments; contractor safety requirements.
• Incident, emergency & environmental controls: incident reporting/investigation; root cause analysis; corrective-action tracking; emergency response coordination; industrial hygiene awareness; hazardous material handling, storage and disposal oversight; PPE and safety equipment control.
