A manufacturing business is looking for a seasoned Health & Safety Consultant to come on board for a six-month contract. Based on site at a mid-sized industrial facility, you'll take a practical, boots-on-the-ground approach, collaborating with plant management, operational teams, and shop floor employees to build a stronger safety culture, keep the site compliant, and embed ongoing improvement throughout the operation. Flexible work arrangements will be considered (work either 4 or 5 days a week).
You'll thrive in this position if you're a self-directed safety practitioner who connects easily with people at every level of the business and can deliver sensible, risk-focused outcomes in a busy production setting.
What you'll be doing:
- Carrying out audits, inspections, and risk assessments across production, warehouse, and yard areas, pinpointing hazards and proposing practical fixes.
- Helping to write, review, and roll out safety policies, procedures, and safe work instructions that meet current legislation and standards.
- Looking into incidents, near-misses, and reported hazards, then producing root cause analyses and action plans to prevent recurrence.
- Running inductions, toolbox talks, and safety training for staff, contractors, and site visitors.
- Keeping the site aligned with WHS/OHS requirements and acting as the point of contact for regulators when needed.
- Working alongside engineering and operations on machine guarding, ergonomics, and process safety specific to heavy equipment manufacturing.
- Measuring and reporting on safety performance, including lead and lag indicators, and providing regular updates to site leadership.
- Contributing to emergency readiness, including response procedures and drills.
- Promoting a proactive safety mindset by encouraging staff involvement and open hazard reporting.
