Job Description

Why This Role Matters

The OHS Officer supports day-to-day safety implementation at the STP by enforcing safe work practices, monitoring compliance, conducting field inspections, and supporting permit systems, training, and incident reporting. This role is execution-focused rather than managerial. The officer follows established systems, procedures, and instructions and does not design or modify safety frameworks or policies.

• Monitors PPE usage and condition, verifies suitability based on task and area, and reports shortages, misuse, or damage, without being responsible for PPE policy development.
• Assists in incident and near-miss reporting, collects basic facts, photographs, and statements, and supports investigations led by the OHS Engineer.
• Supports site inductions and on-the-job maintenance training sessions, and ensures attendance records are completed and submitted.
• Monitors housekeeping standards in operational areas and coordinates with supervisors to correct unsafe conditions that may lead to slips, trips, fire risks, or access obstructions.
• Maintains documentation and records, including inspection checklists, PTW logs, training attendance sheets, and observation trackers, and submits reports on time.
• Raises safety concerns promptly to the OHS Engineer or O&M Manager and does not assume responsibility or resolve issues beyond assigned authority.
