WHS Manufacturing Advisor

​

This role takes full ownership of end-to-end site-wide work health and safety (WHS) management for all manufacturing operations, serving as the core custodian of the facility’s WHS management system to sustain a zero-harm workplace environment. The incumbent is responsible for designing, implementing, refining, and overseeing the full lifecycle of WHS systems tailored to the unique operational characteristics of manufacturing production, covering raw material handling, machine operation, assembly processing, finished product warehousing, and all auxiliary on-site work links. On a regular scheduled basis, comprehensive factory hazard audits are conducted across the entire production plant, including in-depth inspections of production workshops, equipment operation zones, chemical storage areas, waste disposal points, staff working stations, and public facility areas. Different from routine superficial checks, these audits adopt systematic inspection checklists aligned with local industrial WHS legislations, national safety standards, and enterprise internal safety specifications, focusing on identifying latent and chronic hazards that are easily overlooked in daily production. Synchronously, standardized qualitative and quantitative risk assessments are carried out for all high-risk operational activities, including heavy machinery operation, high-temperature processing, chemical feeding and transfer, manual heavy lifting, and electrical equipment use. Each risk assessment generates detailed written reports, grading risk levels from low to extreme, recording hazard sources, analyzing potential accident consequences and occurrence probabilities, and formulating targeted risk elimination, control or mitigation measures. In the event of workplace safety incidents, including minor injuries, equipment safety failures, and operational violations, the role leads formal incident investigation work, organizing cross-functional teams to review incident scenes, collect on-site evidence, interview involved staff and witnesses, sort out the whole incident process, accurately identify direct and indirect causes, define corresponding management and operational responsibilities, and summarize incident root causes including procedural loopholes, staff awareness deficiencies and management oversights. Based on investigation results, effective corrective and preventive action plans are formulated and tracked for full implementation to avoid recurring similar incidents. Additionally, the role independently develops and delivers tiered, targeted WHS training programs for all on-site employees, including new employee induction safety training, regular recurrent safety training for on-the-job staff, special post safety training for high-risk positions, and emergency response drill training. Training content covers WHS regulatory requirements, on-site hazard identification methods, safe operation norms, emergency disposal skills, PPE correct usage, and risk avoidance strategies, adapting training forms including offline lectures, on-site demonstration, case analysis and scenario simulation to match different post characteristics. The role strictly supervises the full compliance of all manufacturing links with latest WHS laws, regulations and industry codes, dynamically tracking policy updates and timely adjusting enterprise safety management systems. It regularly revises and optimizes safe work procedures in accordance with production process upgrades, equipment updates and operational mode adjustments, ensuring all operating guidelines are scientific, rigorous and practical. Beyond system and supervision work, the role actively cultivates a positive enterprise safety culture through regular safety publicity, monthly safety theme activities, safety star selection and hazard reporting incentive mechanisms, guiding all staff to establish active safety awareness rather than passive compliance. Meanwhile, it maintains long-term close communication and collaborative cooperation with production, engineering, quality and workshop management teams, conducting regular joint risk screening, analyzing potential safety risks in production links, and jointly formulating rectification schemes to thoroughly eliminate safety hazards brought by mechanical equipment operation, industrial chemical storage and use, and manual handling operations, effectively protecting the personal safety of employees and the stable and safe operation of the entire manufacturing
