Establish, manage and monitor standards, processes, communications and systems to ensure:

Existence and awareness of a suitable and relevant health and safety policy.
The Company is a safe workplace without risk to health.
Provision of suitable and current information concerning health and safety policies and practices.
Proper and timely assessment of risks to health and safety, and implementation of measures and arrangements identified as necessary from the assessments.
Liaison as necessary with other organisations and relevant authorities, and assistance and cooperation concerning audits and remedial actions.

Qualifications/Skills Required

This is an excellent opportunity for a graduate calibre candidate to join the progressive and forward thinking company. Ideally you will be IOSH accredited and possibly NEBOSH, though this is not entirely a health & safety role and more emphasis will be placed on the auditing, systems and QA skills and experience of potential candidates than H&S.
