  • Champion a proactive safety culture by promoting accountability, engagement, and empowerment across all levels of the workforce.
  • Lead detailed incident investigations, ensuring root cause analysis and implementation of effective preventative measures.

Compliance, Monitoring & Reporting

  • Ensure full compliance with Kenyan legislation, including the Occupational Safety and Health Act (OSHA) and Environmental Management and Coordination Act (EMCA).
  • Maintain all HSE records and prepare detailed reports on performance metrics, highlighting leading and lagging indicators for management review.
  • Serve as the primary liaison with regulatory authorities (e.g., NEMA, DOSHS), clients, and external stakeholders on all HSE matters.

Requirements
