Description

Safety Partners is an Environmental Health & Safety (EHS) consulting company specializing in supporting life science and biotech companies. As a part-time Environmental Health & Safety Officer (EHS Officer) you will have the continual opportunity to create, implement, and maintain Environmental Health & Safety (EHS), programs for our growing list of life science and high-tech clients.
