You will work closely with site leaders, line managers, regulators and external partners to maintain compliance and build a strong safety culture.
- Support the implementation of site environment, health and safety strategies, policies and programmes, while developing and monitoring relevant KPIs and improvement plans.
- Interpret applicable legislation and advise the site management team on compliance, including audits, inspections, risk assessments, action plans and policy development.
- Prepare, maintain and continually improve QEHS management system documentation, procedures and instructions, including requirements relating to ISO 14001 and OHSAS 18001.
