## Description

JOB PURPOSE / OBJECTIVE
Implement and monitor IMI’s HSE requirements across assigned shipyard zones/projects (operational and support areas) by maintaining a strong field presence, conducting inspections, verifying critical controls (PTW/JSA/TRA), intervening when unsafe conditions/acts are observed, and supporting supervisors and contractors to prevent incidents and maintain legal and IMI compliance.

KEY ACCOUNTABILITIES
• Maintain continuous field presence and conduct planned (LPI Focused Inspections) and ad-hoc inspections in assigned areas (yard, quayside, workshops, vessel/structure work fronts) to identify hazards, verify controls, and stop unsafe work.
• Exercise stop-work authority when an imminent risk or serious breach is observed; ensure the area is made safe, promptly notify the responsible Supervisor/Foreman and the Operational Safety Supervisor, and support-controlled restart only after corrective actions are
implemented and verified.
• Verify the effective application of IMI’s Permit to Work (PTW) system and critical work controls (e.g., Hot Work, Confined Space Entry, LOTO, Working at Height, Lifting/Rigging) including permit accuracy, isolations, gas testing requirements, barriers, and worksite conditions.
• Confirm that risk assessments (JSA/TRA) are suitable and sufficient for the task and match site conditions; challenge and escalate where controls are missing, ineffective, or not understood by the work party.
• Monitor contractors and subcontractors for compliance with IMI HSE requirements and contractual obligations; issue observations/violations through the approved process and track close-out with the responsible line supervision.
• Report incidents, near misses, and unsafe conditions promptly and participate in investigations and root cause analysis; ensure corrective actions are clearly defined, assigned, and followed within agreed timeframes.
• Deliver toolbox talks, safety briefings, and on-the-job coaching to improve hazard awareness and strengthen safe behaviours; intervene and correct at-risk behaviours in real time.
• Support emergency preparedness by checking availability/condition of relevant emergency equipment in assigned areas and participating in drills and site emergency response activities as required.
• Maintain accurate and timely inspection records, observations, corrective action follow-up, and reports in accordance with IMI document control requirements and agreed reporting timelines.
• Work shifts/rosters as assigned and perform other HSE-related duties within competence as directed by the Operational Safety Supervisor to support safe execution of shipyard operations.
