• Supporting incident and accident investigations, identifying root causes and recommending corrective actions
• Assisting with internal audits and compliance activities
• Maintaining health and safety records, documentation and reporting requirements
• Supporting the business in meeting ISO 4501 standards and best practice
• Delivering health and safety guidance, training and awareness initiatives
• Building positive working relationships with employees, site teams, managers and directors

• IOSH qualification as a minimum
• Health and safety experience gained in any industry sector
• Knowledge of risk assessments, incident investigations and compliance processes
• A good understanding of health and safety legislation and best practice
• Exposure to management systems such as ISO 4501, or an understanding of their importance would be beneficial
