WHS Specialist – Amazon – Stoney Creek, ON

Amazon Canada is looking for a Workplace Health & Safety Specialist (WHSS) to join their fulfillment operations in Stoney Creek, Ontario. This is a hands-on safety leadership role where you’ll serve as the designated safety champion for your building — driving programs, influencing culture, and making a real difference in the daily lives of frontline associates.

This role goes well beyond paperwork and compliance checklists. You’ll be conducting daily safety audits, leading incident investigations, delivering safety training, and building genuine relationships with both associates and management to embed safe practices into every corner of the operation.

About the Role: WHS Specialist

As a WHS Specialist at Amazon’s Stoney Creek facility, you’ll lead the charge on safety program excellence through data-driven strategies and continuous improvement initiatives. Your day-to-day will include conducting risk assessments, performing job hazard analyses, and turning safety data into actionable insights that prevent injuries before they happen. You’ll also be responsible for delivering engaging training sessions that resonate with associates and promote a proactive safety mindset.

Beyond the technical side, this role is about cultural leadership. You’ll advocate for associate wellbeing, coach teams at all levels, and help make safe behaviours second nature across the site. Working in a dynamic fulfillment centre environment means you’ll need to be physically capable — including lifting up to 49 lbs, standing for extended shifts, and working in variable temperatures and noise levels. Flexible scheduling including days, nights, and weekends is required.

Benefits and Salary

This position offers a base salary range of $29.37 to $40.38 CAD per hour, with final compensation depending on experience, qualifications, and location. As a total compensation company, Amazon’s package may also include sign-on payments and restricted stock units (RSUs). Amazon provides a comprehensive benefits package that includes health insurance (medical, dental, vision, prescription, basic life and AD&D), 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 plays a central role in keeping Amazon’s fulfillment centre operating safely and efficiently. From conducting audits to coaching associates, your responsibilities span both the technical and human sides of workplace health and safety. Here’s what you’ll be doing on a regular basis:

• Lead daily safety audits and walk-throughs to proactively identify and address hazards across the facility
• Conduct incident investigations and root cause analyses to prevent recurrence and implement corrective actions
• Perform risk assessments and job hazard analyses for new processes, equipment, and work areas
• Deliver safety training that engages associates and builds a lasting culture of proactive safety awareness
• Analyze safety data and translate it into compelling narratives that drive positive behavioural change
• Champion continuous improvement initiatives that enhance workplace safety without compromising operational efficiency
• Build relationships with frontline associates and leadership teams to ensure safety best practices are consistently followed
• Serve as the site’s safety advocate, ensuring associate wellbeing is a top priority at every level of the organization

Requirements / Skills

Amazon is seeking a candidate who combines solid EHS knowledge with strong interpersonal skills and a genuine commitment to protecting people. Whether you come from a formal safety background or have built your expertise on the job, what matters most is your ability to lead by example and influence a safety-first culture.

• High school diploma or equivalent is required as a minimum educational credential
• Knowledge of OSHA regulations, specifically 29 CFR 1910, is essential for this role
• Minimum 1 year of EHS experience, OR a bachelor’s degree in an EHS-relevant field, OR 6 months in a safety-related role at Amazon
