- Risk & Hazard Assessment: Lead Job Safety Analyses (JSA) and Hazard Identification (HAZID) studies for critical activities, including deep trenching, heavy lifting, cross-country logistics, and tie-ins.
- Incident Investigation: Formulate and lead response protocols for near-misses or incidents. Conduct deep root-cause analyses, prepare technical safety reports, and implement strict corrective and preventive actions (CAPA).
- Emergency Response: Design, implement, and test project-specific emergency response plans (ERP) and evacuation procedures tailored for remote, cross-country pipeline terrains.
- Reporting & Auditing: Conduct regular HSE audits of field operations, camps, and subcontractors. Deliver comprehensive weekly and monthly HSE performance metrics, trend analyses, and safety documentation to senior management and the client.
