Site Safety Supervisor

About the role

To implement and enforce site safety, health, and environmental (SHE) requirements on the ground — conducting daily inspections, controlling the Permit to Work system, briefing workers, and stopping unsafe acts — so that every person on site goes home safely every day, in full compliance with OSHA 1994, DOSH (JKKP) guidelines, CIDB requirements, and the project Safety and Health Plan.

Key responsibilities

• Conduct a full site safety inspection at the start of each working day before any high-risk activities begin — covering all active work areas, access routes, scaffolding, excavations, and equipment.
• Review and process Permit to Work (PTW) applications for all high-risk activities — lifting operations, work at height, confined space entry, hot works, and excavation — before the activity starts.
• Conduct a toolbox talk at the start of each working day covering the day's planned activities, associated hazards, required controls, and emergency procedures.
• Patrol active work areas throughout the day to check PPE compliance — hard hats, safety boots, high-visibility vests, harnesses, and any task-specific PPE required by the method statement.
• Respond immediately to any accident, near-miss, or unsafe condition on site — attend the scene, render or call for first aid, preserve the incident site, and notify the SHO and Project Manager without delay.
• Maintain daily records of all safety activities — inspection checklists, toolbox attendance, PTW logs, unsafe act observations, and CAPA tracking sheets — filed systematically by date and project.
• Conduct dedicated subcontractor safety checks each week — verifying that workers have completed site induction, are wearing correct PPE, are following the approved method statement, and have the required PTW in place.
• Assist the SHO in planning and conducting emergency evacuation drills on site — ensure all workers know the muster point, alarm signal, and evacuation route before drills are conducted.
