The EHS Training & Compliance Specialist designs, delivers, and measures the effectiveness of environmental, health, and safety (EHS) training programs for the Elk River manufacturing facility — and serves as a visible, hands‑on presence on the plant floor. This role identifies training gaps, translates OSHA, EPA, and internal safety standards into engaging, practical training content, and conducts routine floor walk‑throughs and behavioral observations to catch compliance issues in real time.

When a gap is found, this person has the knowledge and standing to diagnose the issue, address it directly, and train the right people so it doesn’t happen again. The Specialist owns day‑to‑day administration of the Human Safety Learning Management System (LMS) for all EHS‑related training and partners with the Training Manager to build and maintain the plant’s safety competency framework.

• Assess EHS training needs in partnership with Leadership, supervisors, and the safety committee
• Review incident reports, near‑miss data, and audit findings to identify where training could reduce risk and improve compliance
• Translate OSHA General Industry (29 CFR 1910), EPA requirements, and internal safety programs into trainable content and host training sessions
• Develop training materials in multiple formats (presentations, job aids, videos, toolbox talks, e‑learning modules)
• Build and maintain EHS training courses in the plant’s Learning Management System (LMS) for both English and Spanish delivery, including automated course assignment by role, department, and hire date
• Design knowledge assessments, quizzes, and practical competency checks aligned with learning objectives
• Build and document EHS competency standards that define what safe and compliant looks like for each plant role

• Conduct regular — and at times unannounced — walk‑throughs of the production floor to identify OSHA, EPA, and internal compliance gaps in real time
• When a gap or hazard is identified, diagnose the root cause on the spot and determine the appropriate immediate corrective action, rather than only logging it for later follow‑up
• Bring compliance findings and training priorities to plant and production meetings on a recurring basis so supervisors and shift leads stay aligned on what is being reinforced and why

• Conduct new hire safety orientation and onboarding for production associates, maintenance, contractors, and all plant personnel
• Administer Personal Protective Equipment programs (hard hats, captive shoe program, etc.)
• Conduct refresher training when procedures change, incidents occur, or audit findings require retraining
• Administer knowledge checks and assessments at the end of training sessions; score assessments and provide feedback to employees

• Return to the production floor after training to observe whether employees are applying safe work practices
• Document specific behaviors that demonstrate competency (or gaps) in employee performance
• Identify trends and provide monthly training…
