–          Investigating accidents, incidents and near misses, identifying root causes and implementing preventative actions
–          Delivering engaging Health & Safety inductions, toolbox talks and training programmes
–          Supporting environmental initiatives, employee wellbeing and emergency planning
–          Managing contractor and visitor safety processes
–          Monitoring and coordinating essential site compliance activities including:
LOLER inspections
