Calgary, Canada Calgary Food Bank Full time

The Calgary Food Bank is the first line of emergency food support for families and individuals facing crisis. As the city’s main charitable food hub and the most accessible food bank, we have the capacity to serve families, individuals, and organizations to fight hunger. From September 1, 2022, to August 31, 2023, we raised $20.3 million in funds and $41.9 million in food donations to support our services and programs as we work towards our vision of a hunger-free community.

We are currently recruiting a community-minded individual to join our Corporate Services department as a **Health and Safety Coordinator**. The Health and Safety Coordinator is responsible for maintaining and overseeing the health, safety, and food safety management systems at the Calgary Food Bank. Additionally, this role includes overseeing security protocols related to operational safety across office, warehouse, traffic, truck, and dispatch functions. It also includes ensuring compliance with both health and food safety regulations.

**Primary Responsibilities**:

- Develop, monitor, and maintain priorities and standards for the health, safety, and food safety management systems.
- Oversee security protocols across operational areas to ensure compliance with safety requirements.
- Support leadership and employees in fulfilling their Health, Safety, and Food Safety responsibilities, as defined by policies and Occupational OHS legislation.

**Tasks Performed**:

- Develop and maintain health and safety, as well as food safety, policies and procedures to ensure they meet or exceed legislative or industry standards.
- In collaboration with the People Services team, develop and implement employee wellness strategies.
- Maintain training records, safety documentation, and monthly and year-to-year reporting on health, safety, and food safety for staff and volunteers.
- Coordinate two annual Health and Safety engagement weeks, including the integration of food safety education.
- Maintain the training and development and learning management system (Work Hub).
- Oversee internal COR audits and action plans, ensuring education requirements for COR and food safety certification are met, while ensuring education and peer audit requirements for COR maintained through the ACSA.
- Provide administrative support to external auditors and implement action plans from internal and external audits.
- Assist with operational security aspects, ensuring facility inspections include measures for appropriate operational security and access control.
- Member of the internal investigation team.
- Provide guidance and administrative support for developing and maintaining documentation related to safe job procedures, former & field-level hazard analyses, and safe work practices.

- Security protocols, including ensuring safe access to restricted areas, are also the responsibility of the Health and Safety Coordinator.
- Administrative support to the Joint Worksite Health and Safety Committee (JWSHSC).

**Decision making and leadership capabilities**:
High-impact decisions are made collaboratively with the Chief of Finance. However, independent decision-making is required to manage health, safety, food safety, and security protocols efficiently. Decisions include how to best meet departmental objectives using organizational resources, defining best practices, and ensuring compliance with both safety and food safety legislation. This role also involves providing guidance on both health and food safety concerns, as well as determining the necessary security measures for different operational areas.
