I am Geophysical and Safety Engineer with a strong background in ensuring the safety and well-being of personnel and facilities in various work environments. This role combines expertise in geophysics and safety management to assess, analyze, and mitigate risks associated with geophysical projects and operations. The ideal candidate will have a proven track record as a Safety Officer, with two years of experience in ensuring compliance with safety regulations and implementing effective safety measures.

As a Geophysical and Safety Engineer, you will be responsible for conducting thorough risk assessments and implementing safety protocols to minimize hazards and protect workers' health and safety. Your primary focus will be on geophysical projects, which involve the study of the Earth's subsurface using various techniques such as seismic surveys, electromagnetic surveys, and gravity surveys. You will collaborate with cross-functional teams, including geophysicists, geologists, and project managers, to develop comprehensive safety plans tailored to the specific project requirements.

Key Responsibilities:

Safety Compliance: Ensure compliance with all relevant safety regulations, standards, and guidelines, including OSHA (Occupational Safety and Health Administration) and other industry-specific regulations. Regularly update safety policies and procedures to align with changing regulations.

Risk Assessment: Conduct comprehensive risk assessments for geophysical projects, identifying potential hazards and evaluating their impact on personnel, equipment, and the environment. Develop risk mitigation strategies and implement effective control measures to minimize or eliminate identified risks.

Safety Planning: Collaborate with project teams to develop site-specific safety plans and protocols. Consider potential safety issues during project planning and provide expert recommendations to enhance safety measures and minimize risks.

Training and Education: Conduct safety training sessions for project personnel to promote awareness and adherence to safety protocols. Develop and deliver safety-related educational materials, toolbox talks, and other resources to foster a culture of safety within the organization.

Incident Investigation: Lead investigations into safety incidents and accidents, identifying root causes and contributing factors. Develop corrective and preventive action plans to avoid similar incidents in the future.

Safety Audits and Inspections: Conduct regular safety audits and inspections of project sites, facilities, and equipment. Identify deficiencies, non-compliance issues, and areas for improvement, and recommend corrective actions to ensure a safe working environment.

Emergency Preparedness: Develop and implement emergency response plans for geophysical projects, including evacuation procedures, first aid protocols, and communication strategies. Conduct drills and exercises to test the effectiveness of emergency response plans.

Documentation and Reporting: Maintain accurate records of safety inspections, incidents, and corrective actions. Prepare reports and presentations on safety performance, trends, and recommendations for management review.

Qualifications and Experience:

Bachelor's degree in Geophysics, Safety Engineering, or a related field.

Minimum of 2 years of experience as a Safety Officer, preferably in the geophysical or oil and gas industry.

Strong knowledge of geophysical techniques, equipment, and data interpretation.

Familiarity with relevant safety regulations and standards, such as OSHA, HSE (Health, Safety, and Environment), and industry-specific guidelines.

Proficient in conducting risk assessments, incident investigations, and safety audits.

Excellent communication skills, with the ability to effectively train and educate personnel on safety protocols.
