Primary Purpose

To experience Mountaire's culture first-hand and provide additional exposure of Mountaire's family-oriented work environment.  Fulfill all designated duties within each specialized area of operation for the duration of the internship. This program is intended to provide learning opportunities by working hands-on with mentors and completing assigned projects. This project involves validating current lockout/tagout (LOTO) procedures as required by OSHA regulations. Currently, machine specific LOTO procedures exist for each facility. The Intern will first verify that no procedures are missing based on equipment inventory. Second, the Intern will be actively in the facility visiting the equipment to conduct a visual observation to ensure the LOTO procedure established is correct. If corrections are needed, they will propose edits that will be approved by the facility safety representative. For any equipment identified not having a LOTO written procedure, they will be required to draft a procedure for approval.
