This includes meticulously investigating incidents and near-misses, conducting root cause analyses, and developing robust preventative strategies to avoid recurrence. You will be responsible for maintaining accurate H&S records, preparing reports for management, and actively participating in safety committees. Your expertise will also extend to liaising with external regulatory bodies, emergency services, and other stakeholders to ensure that our industrial estates remain at the forefront of safety excellence.
