- Manage site safety, health and environmental incident response and reporting processes, ensuring timely and accurate recording, investigation and analysis of hazards, injuries and incidents.
- Facilitate the identification and communication of key learnings from incidents and hazards, working with SHE Leaders to strengthen organisational learning and continuous improvement.
- Participate in compliance assurance activities aligned with the SHE Strategy and business improvement plans, verifying and validating the effectiveness of SHE risk controls.
- Support the maintenance and administration of SHE risk registers for the relevant line of business or region.
