The Safety Health and Environment Advisor will operate directly within the site environment, identifying risks where work is performed and converting SHE requirements into practical controls. The position combines field inspections, risk evaluation, incident analysis, workforce engagement, environmental oversight, and performance monitoring. By working closely with management and operational teams, the advisor will help prevent injuries, strengthen regulatory compliance, and ensure changing site conditions are addressed before they develop into significant safety or environmental events.
Key Responsibilities- Conduct structured site inspections and SHE audits covering work areas, activities, equipment, behaviors, and operational conditions.
- Identify hazards, unsafe practices, regulatory deficiencies, and emerging risks and establish appropriate follow-up actions.
- Develop site-specific safety procedures and programs based on operational activities and identified risk profiles.
- Monitor implementation of safety controls and evaluate whether existing measures remain effective as site conditions change.
- Perform hazard assessments and formal risk evaluations for new activities, projects, equipment, processes, and operational modifications.
- Investigate incidents, accidents, and near misses and establish factual findings through systematic evidence gathering.
- Apply root cause analysis techniques to determine underlying failures rather than focusing only on immediate causes.
- Recommend corrective and preventive measures and monitor actions through satisfactory closure.
- Deliver safety training, awareness sessions, and practical guidance to personnel across different organizational levels.
- Engage with multicultural site teams to reinforce individual accountability and consistent safe working practices.
- Monitor compliance with UAE occupational health and safety requirements, relevant GCC standards, environmental obligations, and project procedures.
- Maintain accurate records covering inspections, audits, risk assessments, incidents, investigations, training, and compliance activities.
- Analyze safety statistics, observations, incident trends, and performance indicators to identify areas requiring intervention.
- Develop targeted improvement initiatives based on recurring hazards and measurable safety performance trends.
- Coordinate with site management to integrate SHE considerations into routine planning and operational decisions.
- Provide practical advice when teams require clarification on safety controls, working methods, or compliance requirements.
- Act as a central contact for site safety concerns and elevate significant or uncontrolled risks to appropriate management.
- Monitor the correct selection, availability, condition, and use of personal protective equipment and site safety equipment.
- Coordinate with regulatory authorities, safety consultants, environmental agencies, and other external stakeholders when required.
- Support environmental sustainability initiatives and promote responsible site practices alongside occupational safety objectives.
- Prepare SHE reports and management information that clearly communicates performance, risks, incidents, and priority actions.
