Key Responsibilities

1. Road Safety & Fleet Risk Management (Critical Focus)

• DUI Mitigation Policy: Develop and enforce a zero-tolerance policy regarding alcohol consumption for all staff operating company or personal vehicles on company business. Implement mandatory "fit-for-work" checks and breathalyzer protocols for field staff departing events.

• Night Driving Governance: Establish a strict "Journey Management Plan" for field sales teams. This includes curfew mandates, mandatory pre-trip authorization for travel after sunset, and the implementation of fatigue management protocols.

• Driver Training & Coaching: Design and lead high-impact defensive driving courses specifically addressing the challenges of nighttime visibility, high-traffic event environments, and alcohol-related hazards.

• Incident Investigation: Lead root-cause analysis (RCA) for all fleet incidents, focusing on behavioral patterns and environmental triggers.

2. Field Sales & Event Safety

• Event Risk Assessment: Standardize site-specific safety audits for all market activation events, ensuring safe ingress/egress, secure product storage, and monitoring of staff conduct.

• Operational Safety Standards: Ensure field sales personnel adhere to safety standards during market visits and activations, particularly in high-density or high-risk locations.

3. Facility Safety (Head Office & Distribution)

• Infrastructure Audit: Conduct regular inspections of offices and storage facilities to ensure compliance with local fire, electrical, and ergonomic regulations.

• Emergency Preparedness: Maintain and test fire evacuation plans, medical response protocols, and security measures for all company facilities.

Required Competencies

• Risk Mitigation Strategy: Proven track record in implementing "Life Saving Rules," specifically related to transportation and substance control.

• Behavioral Safety Leadership: Ability to influence sales teams to prioritize safety over immediate sales targets. You must be comfortable having difficult, non-negotiable conversations regarding compliance.

• Data-Driven Reporting: Ability to track safety KPIs (e.g., Near Misses, High-Risk Driving incidents, Event Safety scores) and report directly to executive leadership.

• Regulatory Knowledge: Deep understanding of local road transport laws and occupational health and safety (OHS) legislation.
