* Technical Proficiency: Advanced competency in Confined Space Entry, Fall Protection, Gas Detection, and Respiratory Protective Equipment (RPE).
* Incident & Risk Management: Expert‑level capability in preparing SSOW, performing complex Risk Assessments, and leading post‑accident investigations through to return‑to‑work evaluations.
