In this role, the right candidate will support the implementation of 5S principles—Sort, Set in Order, Shine, Standardize, and Sustain—within selected areas of the glass manufacturing facility. The goal is to improve workplace organization, reduce waste, enhance visual management, and support a safer and more efficient production environment.

- Final summary report showing completed improvements and future opportunities
Project 2: Facility Chemical Audit and SDS Database Update
Objective: The intern will complete a full chemical audit of the glass manufacturing facility and support the verification and update of the company’s Safety Data Sheet (SDS) database. The goal is to ensure that chemicals on-site are accurately inventoried, properly identified, and matched to current SDS records to support hazard communication and regulatory compliance.
Scope and Responsibilities: The intern will conduct a room-by-room and department-by-department review of chemicals used, stored, or staged throughout the facility. Responsibilities may include recording product names, manufacturers, container sizes, use locations, and storage conditions; identifying missing, outdated, or duplicate SDS records; coordinating with department leaders to verify active products; and organizing information for upload or correction in the company SDS system.
Key Deliverables:
- Complete chemical inventory by area or department
- List of chemicals missing SDS records or requiring updated SDS versions
- Identification of obsolete, duplicate, or no-longer-used products
- Updated and organized SDS database entries for active chemicals
