Safety & Occupational Health Specialist

1 month ago


Philadelphia, United States Federal Emergency Management Agency Full time

What will I do in this position if hired?

In this position, you will serve as a Safety & Occupational Health Specialist for Region Three in Philadelphia, PA.

Typical assignments include:

Serving as a technical specialist for safety and health matters related to mail and material handling operations, fire prevention, emergency plans and procedures, fire alert/suppression systems, safety awareness, life safety inspections, ergonomics and environmental management systems, and energy programs in accordance with agency policies.
Responding to accidents, illnesses, traumatic injuries and other site emergencies, including severe weather.
Performing safety and health inspections of facility workplaces and operations and maintaining required documentation.
Writing, developing, implementing, and applying occupational safety and health plans, occupant emergency plans (or similar), fire protection plans, emergency action plans, employee messaging and training for site operations.
Providing technical safety training to supervisors and employees, through publications, exhibits, protective devices, and visual aids; promoting safety campaigns through oral presentations at safety committee meetings, posting safety displays, and publishing articles promoting safety in the workplace.
Coordinating evacuations, other emergency responses and related training drills.

What else do I need to know?

At FEMA, our mission is to help people before, during and after disasters, and every employee at FEMA has a role in emergency management. Every FEMA employee has regular and recurring emergency management responsibilities, though not every position requires routine deployment to disaster sites. All positions are subject to recall around the clock for emergency management operations, which may require irregular work hours, work at locations other than the official duty station, and may include duties other than those specified in the employee's official position description. Travel requirements in support of emergency operations may be extensive in nature (weeks to months), with little advance notice, and may require employees to relocate to emergency sites with physically austere and operationally challenging conditions.

This announcement is for a position as a CORE (Cadre of On-Call Response/Recovery Employee). CORE employees are full-time employees hired to directly support the response and recovery efforts related to disasters. Employees are hired under the Robert T. Stafford Act and are excluded from the provisions of title 5, United States Code, governing jobs in the competitive service. They can be hired under a streamlined process instead of a competitive process. After three years of continuous service, Stafford Act employees may be granted competitive eligibility to apply for permanent full-time positions at FEMA.

This position will be hired into a temporary 4-year, excepted service appointment. Appointments may be renewed based on workload, funding, and supervisory approval.

This position has promotion potential to the IC12. Promotions are dependent on your ability to perform the duties at a higher level, successful performance review displaying at least one year of experience at the lower grade, the continuing need for an employee assigned to the higher level, and management approval.

FEMA is committed to ensuring that its workforce reflects the diversity of the nation. At FEMA, our workforce includes the many identities, races, ethnicities, backgrounds, abilities, ages, cultures, and beliefs of the people we serve. To learn about FEMA's ongoing diversity and inclusion efforts, reasonable accommodation process, and the FEMA Core Values, please visit www.fema.gov.
