Full job description

Job Purpose

The Head of Health & Safety will provide strategic and operational leadership for Health, Safety and Wellbeing across Harris Group (Dublin and UK). The role is responsible for establishing a robust, compliant and sustainable H&S management system, closing out repeat and high‑risk audit findings, embedding a strong safety culture, and leading the business through ISO-aligned Health & Safety management system implementation.
This role moves the organisation from site‑led compliance to group‑wide best practice and assurance.

Act as the senior competent person for Health & Safety under Irish and UK legislation.
Chair and establish a formal Health & Safety Committee, ensuring regular meetings, documented actions, and workforce engagement.
Provide clear leadership to site H&S resources and departmental managers, setting standards and expectations.
Promote a proactive safety culture, increasing near‑miss reporting, quality investigations, and visible management ownership.

Ensure policies, risk assessments, SOPs, permits to work and records are consistent, controlled, and auditable.
Integrate H&S systems with operational, HR and maintenance processes.
Prepare the business for external audits and certification readiness.

4. Risk Assessment, SOPs & Safe Systems of Work

Review and enhance existing Risk Assessments and SOPs, ensuring they are task‑specific, current and effectively communicated.
Introduce missing assessments and controls (e.g. young workers, overhead crane use, asbestos survey oversight).
Ensure effective permit‑to‑work systems for high‑risk activities such as working at height, electrical work and contractor activities.

5. Training, Competence & Assurance

Develop and maintain a comprehensive Training Needs Analysis and Training Matrix, clearly identifying required, completed and planned training.
Ensure role‑based competence for all safety‑critical activities (workshop, warehouse, PDI, roadside assistance).
Oversee induction, refresher training, toolbox talks and specialist external training provision.

6. Incident Management & Performance Monitoring

Ensure all accidents, incidents and near misses are properly investigated using root cause analysis techniques (e.g. 5 Whys).
Monitor H&S KPIs, trends and leading indicators, reporting performance to senior leadership.
Drive continuous improvement based on data, audits and workforce feedback.

7. Contractor & Visitor Safety

Strengthen contractor management systems, including RAMS, competence checks and permit controls.
Ensure visitor and driver safety arrangements are consistently applied and enforced across site operations.
