- Get us ready for ISO accreditation (e.g., 9001, 14001, 45001) but ultimately ensure all our site activities strictly adhere to legislative requirements, waste industry regulations and site environmental permits.
- Conduct regular site inspections, risk assessments, and internal audits at both the HRRC/WTS and office locations.
- Champion a “safety-first” mentality, delivering toolbox talks, safety training, and engagement initiatives to staff at all levels.
- Lead through accident investigations, identify root causes, and implement robust corrective actions to prevent recurrence.
