• Develop and embed risk assessments and safe systems of work for MHE, manual handling, racking, work at height and other high‑risk activities.
• Lead incident reporting and investigations, including RIDDOR, making sure lessons are learned and corrective actions closed.
• Keep training, induction and H&S records organised and up to date and ensure first aid and fire marshal cover on every shift.
