• Develop and implement up–to–date, effective health & safety policies.
• Audit contractors, properties, and maintenance works to ensure full compliance.
• Lead contractor management and ensure supply chain competency.
• Investigate incidents and near misses, reporting lessons learned and follow–up actions.
