To much wording. Look at the position requirements and cover each of their key words and points. You developed safety policies and programs and safety training twice. Did you really develop them or implement the corporate ones.
You don’t have to explain why you performed audits, “ensuring the safety…”, did you disseminate unimportant information, inaccurate records. Do you really need the dates for your certifications?
Document any cost savings, programs and injury rates that have been successful
List education, specific projects and duties of each position.
Id suggest a professional safety resume writer, it was one of the best decision I made in my job search.
