WHS Specialist – Amazon – Brampton, ON

Amazon Canada is looking for a Workplace Health & Safety (WHS) Specialist to join their fulfilment operations in Brampton, Ontario. This is a hands-on safety role that puts you right at the centre of Amazon’s mission to become the safest workplace on Earth — a goal they take seriously across every facility they operate.

As a WHS Specialist, you won’t just be checking boxes on a compliance list. You’ll be actively shaping safety culture, investigating incidents, running audits, and building real relationships with associates and leadership to drive meaningful behavioural change on the floor.

About the Role: WHS Specialist

Day to day, this position involves leading safety audits, incident investigations, and risk assessments while delivering training that genuinely resonates with warehouse associates. You’ll use data-driven strategies to identify trends and develop solutions before incidents occur — not just react after the fact.

Beyond the technical work, this role carries a strong cultural leadership component. You’ll serve as a trusted advisor and advocate for associate wellbeing, working across all levels of the organization to make sure safety best practices become second nature. Strong communication and the ability to translate safety data into actionable insights are key to succeeding here.

Benefits and Salary

This position offers a base salary range of $29.00 to $40.00 CAD per hour. Amazon’s total compensation package may also include sign-on payments and Restricted Stock Units (RSUs). The company provides a comprehensive benefits package that includes health insurance (medical, dental, vision, prescription, and basic life & AD&D insurance), a Registered Retirement Savings Plan (RRSP), a Deferred Profit Sharing Plan (DPSP), paid time off, and additional resources to support overall health and well-being.

Responsibilities

The WHS Specialist at Amazon plays a critical role in protecting the people behind one of the country’s largest fulfilment networks. From the warehouse floor to leadership meetings, your responsibilities span both the tactical and the cultural — ensuring safety programs are not only in place but genuinely embraced.

• Lead daily safety audits to identify hazards and proactively address risks before they lead to incidents
• Conduct incident investigations and root cause analyses to implement corrective and preventive measures
• Deliver safety training that engages associates and builds a proactive safety mindset across the facility
• Champion continuous improvement initiatives that enhance workplace safety without compromising operational efficiency
• Build relationships with frontline associates and management to influence positive behavioural change and reinforce safe practices
• Analyze safety data and translate findings into compelling narratives that drive engagement in safety programs
• Perform physical tasks including lifting up to 49 lbs, standing or walking for up to 12 hours per shift, and climbing and descending stairs as required

Requirements / Skills

The ideal candidate brings both formal knowledge of Environmental Health & Safety (EHS) regulations and the interpersonal skills to foster a culture of safety. Amazon values candidates who can work independently, communicate clearly, and hold themselves and others accountable when it comes to workplace health and safety standards.

• High school diploma or equivalent is required as a minimum educational qualification
• Knowledge of OSHA regulations, specifically 29 CFR 1910, is required for this role
• Minimum 1 year of EHS-related experience, OR a Bachelor’s degree in an EHS-relevant field, OR 6 months performing a safety-related role within Amazon
• Proficiency in Microsoft Word and Excel in a professional setting is expected
