The Role

This is an excellent opportunity for a proactive safety professional who enjoys a hands‑on operational role.

• Conduct regular site inspections, risk assessments, and comprehensive audits across production and warehousing environments. Identify areas for improvement and implement practical corrective actions.
• Ensure full compliance with all relevant statutory regulations, health and safety legislation, and food industry standards. Keep the management team updated on regulatory changes affecting the sector.
• Lead investigations into any workplace incidents, near‑misses, or hazards. Analyse root causes, compile detailed reports, and introduce preventative measures to minimise future risk.
• Maintain, review, and update health and safety policies, safe systems of work (SSOW), and emergency response plans to ensure they remain robust and effective.
• Design and deliver health and safety training modules, toolbox talks, and general inductions for new employees, contractors, and visitors.
• Collate safety metrics and present clear, data‑driven performance reports to senior management to help shape future safety strategies.
• Other duties as required to support this position.
