//www.opm.gov/policy-data-oversight/pay-leave/salaries-wages/salary-tables/pdf/2020/NY.pdf Assists in planning and conducting portions or limited inspections or compliance reviews (or independently conducts inspections of business establishments and worksites whose operations are generally characterized by the presence of moderately stable, low-risk processes or some higher hazards or unsafe working conditions or technically difficult operations which are covered by specific written guidelines). Identifies areas in need of immediate corrective action or conditions which are of imminent danger to life or limb. Inspects worksites, machine and equipment operations, environmental conditions, work practices, protective devices and equipment, and safety procedures. Interviews supervisors and employees for information on specific working conditions to evaluate the total worksite environment. Documents ongoing case files with relevant documentation to support a legally sufficient case. Recommends strategies and techniques for resolving unsafe or hazardous conditions. Operates a motor vehicle to travel to inspection sites. ALL APPLICANTS MUST MEET THE BASIC EDUCATION REQUIREMENT:
Basic Education Requirement:
(transcripts with degree and major are required-student copies are acceptable) All candidates for all grade levels must show successful completion of a full 4-year professional engineering curriculum leading to a bachelor's or higher degree in engineering in an accredited college or university. To be acceptable, the curriculum must:
1. Be in a school of engineering with at least one curriculum accredited by the Accreditation Board of Engineering and Technology (ABET) as a professional engineering curriculum; or 2. Include differential and integral calculus and courses (more advanced than first-year physics and chemistry) in five of the following seven areas of engineering science or physics:
(a) statistics, dynamics; (b) strength of materials (stress - strain relationships); (c) fluid mechanics, hydraulics; (d)thermodynamics; (e) electrical fields and circuits; (f) nature and properties of materials (relating particle and aggregate structure to properties); (g) any other comparable area of fundamental engineering science or physics such as optics, heat transfer, soil mechanics or electronics.And,Specialized Experience Requirements:
In addition to the basic education requirements, applicants must also meet either the specialized experience or the substitution of education for experience described below.For GS-9:
One year of professional engineering experience equivalent to the GS-7 level. In order to be creditable this experience must be non-routine, professional engineering work:
(1) In an engineering discipline directly related to the safety engineer position such as one of the following fields of engineering:
mechanical, electrical, chemical, civil, industrial, or materials engineering; (2) Demonstrating the ability to apply engineering knowledge to engineering problems in an industrial or construction setting; (3) Positive and continuing development of professional knowledge, skill and ability to successfully perform all the functions of the job; (4) Analyzing work processes and conditions, identifying and eliminating/controlling safety and occupational health hazards in construction, general industry or maritime; and (5) demonstrating general knowledge of OSHA or related safety and occupational health standards or codes.Or,A Master's degree or two full years of graduate education in one of the following fields of engineering:
mechanical, electrical, chemical, civil, industrial, materials or in a field of science directly related to safety and occupational safety and health.For GS-11:
One year of professional engineering experience equivalent to the GS-9 level. In order to be creditable this experience must be non-routine, professional engineering work:
(1) in an engineering discipline directly related to the safety engineer position such as one of the following fields of engineering:
mechanical, electrical, chemical, civil, industrial, or materials engineering; (2) demonstrates ability to apply engineering knowledge to engineering problems in an industrial or construction setting; (3) positive and continuing development of professional knowledge, skill and ability to successfully perform all the functions of the job; (4) Knowledge of OSHA standards or related safety and occupational health standards or codes; and (5) Expertise either in construction, general industry or maritime as it applies to analyzing work processes and conditions, identifying and eliminating/controlling safety and occupational health hazards; or (6) Broad thorough knowledge in two or three industries (construction, general industry, and maritime) as it applies to analyzing work processes and conditions, identifying and eliminating/controlling safety and occupational health hazards.OrA Ph.D. or three full years of graduate education in engineering or in a field of science directly related to safety and occupational safety and health.
Estimated Salary: $20 to $28 per hour based on qualifications.
