Prepare periodic WSH reports for the Project Manager, Safety Manager, client, and management review.
• Conduct new worker safety orientation/induction and ensure all workers hold valid safety certifications (e.g., Work-at-Height, Confined Space, CSOC) before deployment.
• Liaise with the main contractor and regulatory authorities (MOM, NEA, SCDF) and client's EHS representatives on WSH matters relating to site works.
• Support emergency preparedness on site - including fire safety, emergency evacuation drills, and first-aid arrangements for all work areas.
