Contribute to the ongoing evolution of our Health & Safety Management System, ensuring it remains practical, user-focused and aligned with organisational needs. Monitor H&S performance data, analyse trends (including psychosocial indicators), and support or lead incident investigations. Participate in internal H&S audits and contribute to continual improvement of our robust HSMS, including ISO 45001 and 45003-aligned practices. Promote learning, consistency, and continuous improvement across the region. Leverage data, technology and AI-enabled tools to identify trends, generate insights and support informed decision-making.
