• Help drive a culture of proactive hazard recognition, employee involvement, and timely reporting (including near misses, property damage, environmental releases, and guest incidents).
• Support implementation and reinforcement of required training and onboarding expectations; coach leaders on practical ?how-to? execution in the field.
• Ensure locations have current Aramark safety standards and documentation available and in use (policies, procedures, programs, and required postings/records) and verify execution through routine field presence.
• Provide subject matter support for Destinations-specific exposures as applicable, which may include: driving and fleet exposures, remote work risks, hiking/trail operations, marina/boating activities, fuel systems, wastewater/drinking water oversight coordination, wildlife/visitor interaction considerations, and seasonal ramp-up planning.
