* Plan and conduct site visits and audits, including reporting and follow-up actions.
* Identify training needs and deliver on-site training, including toolbox talks.
* Investigate accidents and incidents thoroughly.
* Ensure company compliance with CDM regulations and other relevant legislation.
* Escalate serious breaches of company policy, procedures, or legislation to senior contacts.
