Day-to-Day Responsibilities
Inspect work areas daily for hazards such as unguarded edges, open excavations, faulty scaffolding and unsafe electrical wiring.
Check that workers use the right protective equipment, such as helmets, harnesses, boots and eye protection, and stop work where it is not used.
Review permits and method statements before high-risk tasks such as hot work, confined space entry, heavy lifting and work at height.
Run toolbox talks and induction training for new workers and contractors, often in the languages they understand best.
Record near-misses, injuries and inspection findings, and investigate incidents to identify root causes.
Work with site engineers, contractors and supervisors to fix unsafe conditions and plan the sequence of work safely.
Prepare safety reports for site management and clients, and plan emergency drills and fire safety checks.
