Additionally, you will provide coaching and support to project managers, supervisors, foremen, and workers regarding HSE requirements. You will also assist in developing, maintaining, and improving HSE programs and processes, while also supporting the overall management system.
Along with that, you will be responsible for providing monthly safety performance reports to management. These reports would include identifying trends, recommending initiatives to reduce incidents, and improving prevention efforts.
