This includes keeping risk assessments up to date, completing training plans, managing contractors, handling incidents, and defining and monitoring action plans. You will be responsible for preparing and maintaining all necessary health and safety documentation for external agencies, firms, and government bodies.

You will oversee periodic reporting on health and safety KPIs and support various departments by ensuring the consistent application and control of procedures and corporate policies. Your role will also involve advising on the interpretation and implementation of mandatory health and safety laws, offering technical expertise where needed.

Through regular audits and inspections, you will monitor performance and identify opportunities for improvement.
