Their expertise directly impacts the prevention of accidents, environmental protection, and the overall well-being of employees on-site.
Key Responsibilities
The main duty of a Safety Officer is to monitor and enforce compliance with health, safety, and environmental (HSE) standards. This includes conducting regular site inspections, identifying potential hazards, and implementing corrective actions to prevent incidents. The officer is responsible for preparing and updating risk assessments, safety audit reports, and incident investigation records. They must also ensure all safety equipment is functional and employees are properly trained in using it.
A significant part of the job involves delivering toolbox talks, safety inductions, and awareness sessions to workers and supervisors. The Safety Officer coordinates with project managers, engineers, and subcontractors to ensure that safety measures are integrated into every phase of the work process. In the case of any incident, the Safety Officer must immediately initiate an investigation, determine root causes, and develop strategies to prevent recurrence. Their efforts help maintain a safe, compliant, and productive work environment that meets Royal Commission standards.
Skills and Knowledge
To excel as a Royal Commission–approved Safety Officer, candidates must possess a comprehensive understanding of HSE laws, industrial safety procedures, and risk management principles.
