• Triage, document, and follow up on all inbound safety communications from supervisors, employees, and coordinators within required timeframes
• Manage workers' compensation from first report to claim closure, serving as the named senior regional contact for TPA adjusters and all claims-related communications

• Lead strategy on high-value or litigated claims in coordination with outside counsel, HR, and the Director of Safety & CI
• Conduct independent file reviews targeting aging and high-reserve cases
• Track and report structurally elevated cost items including reserve levels, litigation posture, and EMR impact on a quarterly basis

• Oversee injury responses and ensure consistent regional execution of Golden Hour protocols
• Lead toolbox talks, verify PPE and equipment safety, and manage forklift certifications
• Maintain OSHA 300 Logs and IIPP records while promoting near-miss reporting
• Provide written Modified Duty Offers same-day to avoid unnecessary TTD transitions
• Manage regional bridge job catalogs and document injured employee progress
