• Complete and review risk assessments, JSAs/SWMS and hazard registers
• Manage key operational risks, including manual handling, mobile plant and forklifts, traffic management, conveyors and racking
• Deliver safety inductions, toolbox talks and training sessions for team members and contractors
• Support injury management and return-to-work programs together with HR and injury management providers
• Coordinate contractor safety, including permits to work and site access
• Plan and run emergency preparedness activities, such as evacuation drills and first aid coverage
• Maintain safety records and report on lead and lag indicators
• Support Health and Safety Representatives (HSRs) and the site safety committee
• Keep the site compliant with the WHS Act, WHS Regulations and relevant Codes of Practice
• Coach and influence leaders and team members to build a proactive safety culture

About you:

• Certificate IV in Work Health and Safety (minimum)
• At least 3 years' experience in a WHS role in warehousing, logistics, distribution, manufacturing or a similar high-volume operational environment
• Working knowledge of WHS legislation, regulations and Codes of Practice
• Hands-on experience running incident investigations, risk assessments and workplace inspections
• Strong communication skills and the confidence to influence people at every level, from team members to senior leaders
• Good organisational skills, with the ability to manage several priorities in a fast-moving environment
• Confident using Microsoft Office and incident or safety management systems
• Comfortable working on the floor in a physically active environment, including walking long distances
• Flexibility to support different shifts when needed
