* Deliver training, toolbox talks and inductions
* Chair monthly safety meetings and track KPIs
* Maintain emergency procedures and Fire Log Book records
About You
* NEBOSH General Certificate (essential)
* Experience within a manufacturing or operational environment
* Comfortable operating in a standalone, autonomous role
* Strong working knowledge of UK safety legislation
