Magnitude of Impact: Errors in the EH&amp;S position can impact departments all the way up to the president. Mishandling of hazardous waste can impact the environment, incur fines, and bring bad publicity to the college. Accident and injuries can cause harm, result in lost time, and have a heavy financial impact.
Responsibility for Accuracy: OSHA log errors, Workers’ Compensation reporting errors, and clerical errors in emails, reports and presentations. Most errors should be caught by review of the employee. Frequency of verification should be at least monthly. Errors could result in violations and fines by regulatory agencies. These types of errors are not very likely and would have a minimal effect of the performance of the position. I recommend that the school institute a system of checks and balances to verify data on a regular basis. This position should help develop that system.
Financial Impact: This position is directly responsible for loss of material and financial assets through damage caused by neglected testing and training of emergency or safety equipment; loss of financial assets due to fines and penalties imposed by regulatory agencies due to noncompliance, loss of financial assets due to litigation pertaining to safety related incidents.

Lifting is usually minimal, but the ability to lift up to 50 pounds could be required.

Many observations are made during audits, requiring excellent or corrected eyesight.
Some indicator lights are colored lights, so it would be beneficial to see color.
