We are recruiting volunteer Branch Safety officers 

The Wilts & Berks Canal Trust needs volunteers with a background in health and safety - preferably in the construction industry, although this isn’t essential.

A basic HSE qualification OSHA or NEBOSH would be helpful, along with five to ten years’ experience.

We are looking for volunteers to work with each of our five main branches:

• Melksham, Calne & Chippenham
• Royal Wootton Bassett
• Swindon
• West Vale
• East Vale & Abingdon

Living locally would be a great advantage.

Main tasks include:

• Produce, review and sign risk and method statements
• Compile monthly safety statistics
• Support the various working sites to ensure work is being undertaken in a hazard-free and safe manner
• Undertake safety audits
• Support and undertake safety training
• If required, conduct toolbox talks
• Report and investigate accidents and incidents

Each branch’s hours and events vary. For more information, please emailInfo@WBCT.Org.UK, quoting the reference Safety Officers.
