Safety / HSE Officer Required

Overview

Key responsibilities include risk assessment and hazard identification, compliance and policy implementation, training and awareness, incident investigation and reporting, emergency preparedness, environmental management, audits and reporting, and acting as a liaison with regulatory bodies, insurers, and suppliers regarding safety matters.

Responsibilities

Risk assessment and hazard identification : conduct regular site inspections, identify potential hazards (chemical, electrical, ergonomic risks), and perform risk assessments to mitigate dangers.

Compliance and policy implementation : ensure adherence to local and international safety regulations (e.g., OSHA in the US, HSE in the UK, ISO standards). Develop, update, and enforce company safety policies and procedures.

Training and awareness : design and deliver safety training programs for employees, contractors, and management. Promote a culture of safety through toolbox talks, drills, and awareness campaigns.

Incident investigation and reporting : investigate accidents, near-misses, and incidents; prepare reports; and recommend corrective actions. Maintain records for audits and legal compliance.

Emergency preparedness : develop and test emergency response plans, including fire drills, evacuation procedures, and environmental spill response.

Environmental management : monitor environmental impacts (e.g., waste disposal, emissions) and ensure compliance with environmental laws like EPA regulations.

Audits and reporting : perform internal and external audits; prepare HSE reports for management; and collaborate with teams to integrate safety into daily operations.

Liaison role : act as the point of contact for regulatory bodies, insurers, and suppliers regarding safety matters.

Qualifications and education

Education : bachelor’s degree in occupational health and safety, environmental science, engineering, or a related field. A diploma or certification in HSE is often sufficient for entry-level roles.

Certifications (highly preferred or mandatory) : NEBOSH International General Certificate (IGC) or Diploma; IOSH Managing Safely or Working Safely; OSHA 30-hour General Industry or Construction (US-focused); ISO or Lead Auditor certification for environmental / safety management; First Aid / CPR and fire safety training.

Experience : 3-5 years in HSE roles (25 years noted in original is likely a typo; adjust to 3-5 or 5-9 as appropriate). Experience with high-risk environments (e.g., construction sites or refineries) is a plus. Entry-level positions may accept 1-2 years with strong certifications.

Essential skills and competencies : technical skills in safety regulations, risk management tools (e.g., HAZOP, JSA), and incident reporting software (e.g., CORITY or Intelex); soft skills including strong communication, analytical thinking, attention to detail, and leadership to influence safety behaviors; ability to work under pressure, travel to sites if needed, and handle confidential information; physical fitness for site inspections; technical proficiency with Microsoft Office (Excel, PowerPoint) and HSE-specific tools.

How to apply or prepare

Tailor your resume to highlight quantifiable achievements (e.g., reduced incidents by 30% through targeted training). Include certifications prominently.

Search for openings on Indeed, LinkedIn, or industry sites like Rigzone (for energy) or SafetyJobs. Prepare for interviews by discussing real-world scenarios, like handling a chemical spill or conducting a safety audit.
