Training and Development:

Develop and deliver health and safety training programmes for employees at all levels, including induction for new staff, equipment safety training, and specialised training as required. Promote a culture of continuous safety improvement through regular toolbox talks, refresher sessions, and practical demonstrations.

Audit and Compliance:

Conduct regular site inspections and internal audits to ensure compliance with all applicable health, safety, and environmental regulations. Coordinate with external regulatory bodies (such as the HSE) for audits and inspections, ensuring all documentation is up to date.

Emergency Preparedness:

Develop and manage emergency response plans, including fire evacuation, first aid, and chemical spill procedures. Organise and lead regular emergency drills, ensuring employees are well-prepared for potential emergencies.

Collaboration with Management and Employees:

Work closely with the production and operational teams to integrate safety into daily activities. Act as the key point of contact for health and safety matters, advising managers and employees on safety procedures and compliance issues.

Continuous Improvement:

Monitor and report on health and safety performance, using KPIs to drive continuous improvement initiatives. Lead health and safety committee meetings, collaborating with stakeholders to identify areas for improvement and implement effective solutions.
