• Analyse root causes, compile detailed reports, and introduce preventative measures to minimise future risk.
• Maintain, review, and update health and safety policies, safe systems of work (SSOW), and emergency response plans to ensure they remain robust and effective.
• Design and deliver health and safety training modules, toolbox talks, and general inductions for new employees, contractors, and visitors.
