Execute OSHA-mandated workplace safety inspections including hazard identification, compliance assessments, and documentation of safety status while maintaining inspection schedules and tracking corrective actions to ensure full regulatory compliance.

Identify system deficiencies, equipment failures, and safety hazards during inspections, then coordinate repairs with qualified vendors and contractors while following up to ensure timely resolution and proper system restoration.

Maintain accurate, audit-ready records of all inspections, tests, and maintenance activities using computerized maintenance management systems (CMMS), generating compliance reports, deficiency logs, and regulatory documentation required for Authority Having Jurisdiction (AHJ) submissions.
