• Investigate and report on all incidents, accidents, and near misses, and ensure timely corrective and preventive actions are implemented.
• Maintain accurate records of all safety-related activities, incidents, inspections, and training programs.

Required:

• Construction industry experience is essential. Candidates coming from other industries will not be considered.
