Safety Culture: Demonstrate, model, and follow the Plug Power Behavior Change Coaching culture process and requirements with all leaders and employees.

Incident Investigation: Lead investigations into accidents and near-misses, identify root causes, and recommend preventive actions.
Training: Develop and deliver EHS training programs for all employees.

High-Pressure Systems: Hydrogen fuel plants often involve high-pressure systems, requiring specialized safety protocols and training.
Cryogenic Fluids: Some hydrogen fuel plants may utilize cryogenic fluids, requiring specialized knowledge and safety procedures.
Process Safety Management (PSM): PSM principles are crucial for mitigating process hazards and preventing major accidents in hydrogen fuel plants.
Emergency Response: Developing effective emergency response plans for hydrogen spills, fires, and other incidents is critical.
