This includes tasks such as helping to review standard operating procedures for safety considerations, collecting data during safety inspections under close supervision, and assisting senior engineers in the review of basic facility and equipment plans to ensure they meet established safety regulations. This definition of specialized experience is typical of work performed at the second lower grade/level position in the federal service (GS-05). GS-09 Specialized Experience: One year of specialized experience which includes experience applying established safety engineering principles to assignments with clear objectives. This includes participating in on-site safety surveys, assisting in accident investigations, reviewing designs for standard machine guards, and helping to prepare and track safety-related documentation such as hazard abatement plans under general supervision. This definition of specialized experience is typical of work performed at the second lower grade/level position in the federal service (GS-07). GS-11 Specialized Experience: One year of specialized experience which includes experience independently performing a range of safety engineering assignments. This includes conducting engineering studies of processes to identify and eliminate hazards, reviewing engineering plans for new construction for compliance with safety standards, developing segments of safety training programs, and making recommendations to correct deficiencies with minimal supervision. This definition of specialized experience is typical of work performed at the second lower grade/level position in the federal service (GS-09). GS-12 Specialized Experience: One year of specialized experience which includes experience serving as a subject matter expert in safety engineering, with responsibility for complex and hazardous operations. This includes developing and implementing comprehensive safety programs (e.g., System Safety, Process Safety Management), providing authoritative advice to management on resolving critical safety issues, and developing and reviewing safety criteria and standards for operations involving highly hazardous materials like explosives and toxic agents. This definition of specialized experience is typical of work performed at the next lower grade/level position in the federal service (GS-11).
