Ellistown and Battleflat, United Kingdom Amazon TA Full time
Keeping our people safe and well at work is a top priority at Amazon. Our Safety Specialists play an integral part in making this happen.

In this role, you'll put the vital steps in place to make sure everyone at your location works in a safe and healthy environment.

This is a hands-on opportunity to make a difference to people every day.

By proactively keeping them safe, you'll also empower them to feel confident in their roles and motivated to do their best work.

Key job responsibilities

  • Monitor site performance against set KPIs and create plans to improve processes
  • Set up workplace health and safety programmes and arrange training sessions
  • Analyse safety metrics and incident trends to help colleagues plan appropriate resources for areas with the highest risk
  • Carry out audits to make sure your site is compliant with relevant health and safety laws and implement solutions where you identify risks
A day in the life
You'll be based on location at one of our sites, which could be one of our sortation centres. Being on site means that you can keep a close eye on the processes.

As well as helping us stay on top of health and safety compliance, you'll spot potential issues and identify opportunities for improvement.

That means working closely with people across the business to get to know the risks they experience and gathering data to identify smarter and safer ways that we can work.

You'll also set up training and other programmes to help everyone follow new safety processes and reach new standards.
