Trainee Inspector of Health and Safety

We have an exciting opportunity for 48 Trainee Inspectors to join our flourishing team across multiple divisions and locations. As an inspector you will be involved in a range of activities, notably inspections and investigations. Where appropriate, you will use various legal processes such as enforcement notices and prosecutions to secure health and safety compliance.

Inspections involve proactively assessing the ability of employers to effectively manage risks to their employees and others (such as contractors or members of the public). Investigations cover accidents, dangerous occurrences, ill health and concerns about workplace conditions and your role will be to uncover what has happened and why. You will have to be prepared to tell people that there is a breach of the law (you will be given lots of training to help you identify and understand this), what action needs to be taken as a result and ensure that this action is taken. This is an exciting opportunity that will offer you the chance of promotion upon successful completion of the fully-funded Regulatory Training Programme (RTP) where you will attain your prestigious NEBOSH qualification.

Interested? You should be. Apply now on Civil Service Jobs.

You will provide expert knowledge in occupational hygiene and experience of chemicals exposure assessment to support the development of regulatory positions on chemicals and decision making in our national regulatory schemes, with a specific focus on REACH.
