As a Safety Officer in building or construction projects, your main responsibility is to ensure the implementation of safety regulations and protocols on-site.
This involves conducting regular inspections to identify potential hazards and risks, and taking proactive measures to mitigate them.
You’ll collaborate closely with project managers and site supervisors to integrate safety procedures into all aspects of the construction process.
Additionally, you’ll oversee safety training programs for workers and subcontractors to ensure they understand and adhere to safety standards.
In the event of accidents or emergencies, you’ll lead investigations, analyze root causes, and implement corrective actions to prevent future incidents.
Maintaining compliance with local regulations and industry standards is essential, as is promoting a culture of safety awareness among all personnel involved in the construction project.
