1What this role really is

This role is all about keeping our global properties and the people in them safe. You'll be the go-to person for day-to-day health and safety matters across a specific region or portfolio of buildings, making sure we're not just compliant, but that everyone feels secure. It's a hands-on job where you'll be out on site as much as you're in the office, dealing with everything from DSE assessments to incident reporting. You'll often be the first point of contact when something goes wrong, so staying calm and methodical is key.

2What you'd actually use

3What you get to decide, and how that grows

Power in a job isn't your title. It's what you're allowed to decide. Here's how it grows as you move up.

The choiceComing inWhere you are nowThe step above
Incident Reporting & Initial ResponseReport all incidents immediately to supervisor; follow scripted initial response plan.Independently log all incidents in EHS system; conduct initial fact-finding; recommend immediate control measures; escalate anything beyond minor first aid to Senior Advisor.Lead complex incident investigations; determine root causes; authorise interim control measures; make recommendations for systemic changes.
Risk Assessment & Hazard ControlAssist in basic risk assessments; implement pre-defined control measures.Independently conduct routine risk assessments (e.g., DSE, general office safety); propose control measures; escalate novel or high-risk hazards for review.Design and lead complex risk assessments (e.g., for new construction, high-risk contractor work); approve control measures within scope; challenge existing practices.

4How you'll be judged

The scoreboard, honestly: the hard targets, how often each one is actually looked at, and the quiet human signals that never make it onto a dashboard.

Incident Report Timeliness
How quickly you log incident reports into our EHS system after being notified.
Target · 98% of incident reports logged within 24 hours of notification.

If a near miss is reported on Monday morning, you'll have it in Intelex by Tuesday morning, latest. Missing this means we can't act quickly enough.

Mandatory Training Completion Rate
The percentage of assigned mandatory H&S e-learning modules completed by employees in your assigned properties/region.
Target · Achieve 95% compliance rate for mandatory H&S e-learning modules.

If 100 people in your patch need to do 'Fire Safety Awareness' training, we expect 95 of them to have finished it by the deadline. It's about making sure everyone knows the basics.

Scheduled Site Safety Walkthroughs
The completion rate of your planned, routine safety walkthroughs and inspections across your assigned properties.
Target · Complete 100% of scheduled site safety walkthroughs each quarter.

If you've scheduled 10 building inspections for the quarter, we expect to see all 10 completed and logged. These aren't optional, they're how we spot issues early.

Corrective Action Follow-Up Rate
The percentage of corrective actions from audits or incidents that you've followed up on and confirmed closure for.
Target · 90% of assigned corrective actions followed up and closed within agreed timelines.

If an audit flags a broken fire door, you'll chase the Facilities team and confirm it's fixed, then mark it as closed in the system. No loose ends.

Quality of Incident Investigations
How thoroughly you investigate incidents, going beyond the obvious to find underlying causes.
  • Your investigation reports clearly outline the sequence of events, identify immediate and basic causes, and propose practical corrective actions. You're not just ticking boxes
  • you're asking 'why' multiple times. Feedback from your Senior Advisor confirms your reports are comprehensive and insightful.
Stakeholder Engagement & Support
How effectively you work with Facilities Managers and other teams to get H&S tasks done and gain their buy-in.
  • Facilities Managers proactively reach out to you for advice before starting new work. You get good attendance at your toolbox talks. Feedback from internal surveys or direct comments from colleagues indicates you're seen as helpful and approachable, not just the 'safety police'.
Proactive Risk Identification
Your ability to spot potential hazards or compliance gaps before they become incidents.
  • You regularly report 'Good Catches' in the system. During site walkthroughs, you identify and document risks that haven't been formally raised yet. You bring ideas to team meetings about how to improve safety, rather than just reacting to problems.
Quality of H&S Documentation
How well you maintain and organise H&S records, ensuring they're accurate and up-to-date.
  • Your H&S document libraries in SharePoint are always tidy and easy to navigate. Audit trails for training records or DSE assessments are complete and accurate. You're able to quickly pull up any requested document during an internal or external audit without a fuss.

5Would you like it

The honest version. What people enjoy, and what grinds them down.

What people enjoy
Making a Tangible Difference

You get a real buzz from seeing a hazard you identified get fixed, or knowing that a training session you ran helped someone avoid an injury. You like seeing the direct impact of your work on people's safety.

Spotting a trip hazard during a walkthrough, reporting it, and then seeing it safely removed a day later. That's a win.

Problem Solving & Investigation

You enjoy the detective work of figuring out why an incident happened, digging into the 'how' and 'why' to uncover the root cause. You like finding practical solutions to complex safety challenges.

Analyse a series of 'near misses' related to a specific piece of equipment and figuring out a new procedure that prevents future issues.

Learning & Development

You're always keen to learn about new regulations, best practices, or safety technologies. You enjoy expanding your knowledge base and applying it to different international contexts.

Taking the initiative to research new DSE guidance in Germany after a few employee complaints, then sharing that knowledge with the team.

What frustrates people
  • The 'Safety Police' Perception: Constantly fighting the idea that you're just there to say 'no', instead of being seen as someone who helps find safe ways to say 'yes'.
  • Chasing Paperwork: Spending way too much time hounding busy Facilities Managers and other operational teams to complete incident reports or close out corrective actions, which they often see as low-priority admin.
  • The 'It'll Never Happen Here' Mentality: Battling complacency, especially in what people perceive as 'low-risk' environments like corporate offices, until a serious, preventable incident actually occurs.
  • Inconsistent Buy-in: Dealing with some local teams who are fully on board with safety initiatives, while others in different regions might drag their heels or even actively undermine them. It makes consistency really hard.
What this role does not give you
  • A quiet, predictable routine with no interruptions – expect urgent calls and shifting priorities.
  • Direct authority over large teams or budgets – your influence comes from persuasion and expertise, not your title.
  • A role where every single piece of your work makes it to a grand, visible 'production' – sometimes, preventing something is the biggest win, and that's often invisible.

6Who you work with

Your work directly influences our operational continuity and legal standing. By keeping our properties safe, you help prevent disruptions, protect our assets, and avoid significant financial penalties. More importantly, you contribute to a positive and secure working environment, which helps us keep our best people and attracts new talent. You're essentially a frontline defender against risk, making sure our global footprint is a safe one.

Inside the business
  • Facilities Managers (local and regional)
  • Property Managers
  • HR Business Partners
  • Operations Teams
  • Legal Counsel (for specific incident reviews)
Outside the business
  • Contractors and Service Providers (cleaners, maintenance, security)
  • Regulatory bodies (e.g., HSE, OSHA equivalents)
  • Training providers
  • Insurance adjusters (for incident follow-ups)

7What you need before you start

Not a wish list. The things you would be expected to already have.

  • A solid understanding of basic H&S principles, perhaps gained through an entry-level H&S role or a facilities management position with significant H&S exposure.
  • Experience with incident reporting and investigation processes, even if you weren't leading them entirely.
  • Familiarity with conducting basic risk assessments and understanding how to apply control measures.
  • Demonstrable experience working with different teams and personalities, ideally in a multi-site or international context.
  • Proficiency with standard office software (Microsoft Office Suite) and a good grasp of how to use digital tools for reporting and communication.

8What to practise next

Where the job is going, and what to do about it starting this week.

Advanced Incident Investigation & Systemic Analysis

As you progress, you won't just be logging incidents; you'll be expected to lead more complex investigations. This means moving beyond simple '5 Whys' to more robust methodologies that uncover systemic failures in our management systems, not just individual errors. It's about preventing future incidents at a deeper level.

Human Factors in Safety · Bowtie Analysis · TapRooT® or SCAT Methodologies · Barrier Analysis

  • This month: Shadow your Senior Advisor on their next complex incident investigation, paying close attention to their questioning techniques and how they identify systemic issues.
  • Next quarter: Look for online courses or webinars on Human Factors in Safety or advanced RCA techniques. Share what you learn with the team.
  • Within 6 months: Propose leading a small, non-critical incident investigation entirely yourself, with your Senior Advisor reviewing your approach and findings.
  • Annually: Review our company's incident trends and try to identify any recurring systemic issues that might warrant a deeper dive.

Quick win: After every incident you log, spend an extra 15 minutes thinking about 'what system failed?' rather than just 'what did the person do?'

Proactive Legal & Regulatory Scanning

Right now, you react to regulatory alerts. In the future, you'll need to be more proactive. This means not just reading the alerts but actively scanning for upcoming legislative changes, understanding their potential impact on our properties, and briefing your Senior Advisor before they become urgent problems. It's about foresight, not just hindsight.

Legislative Foresight Tools · Impact Assessment · Stakeholder Briefing · Risk Appetite Alignment

  • This month: Set up custom alerts in LexisNexis (or similar) for 'proposed' H&S legislation in your key jurisdictions, not just 'enacted' laws.
  • Next quarter: Pick one piece of upcoming legislation and draft a short, internal 'impact note' for your Senior Advisor, outlining what it means for us.
  • Within 6 months: Join an industry webinar or forum focused on future regulatory trends in real estate facilities management.
  • Annually: Review our current compliance gaps and consider what future regulations might exacerbate those, or create new ones.

Quick win: Spend 30 minutes each week specifically looking for H&S news or proposed legislation in one of your key countries. Just getting into the habit is a start.

9Staying current once you are in

What people here do to keep up
  • Regularly attend industry webinars and seminars on emerging H&S topics (e.g., mental wellbeing in the workplace, new fire safety technologies).
  • Join professional H&S networks or forums to share best practices and learn from peers.
  • Keep up-to-date with legislative changes in your assigned countries by subscribing to relevant newsletters or regulatory intelligence services.
  • Volunteer for internal H&S committees or working groups to gain broader experience and influence.

10How the AI economy is changing work like this

Before we ask anything of you, here's what we can already say about AI and work of this kind:

The new skill this role is being asked for: Data Storytelling for Safety

We're drowning in data, but raw numbers don't change behaviour. The ability to turn incident rates, audit scores, or training completion figures into a compelling story that resonates with Facilities Managers or even our CEO is becoming crucial. It's about showing 'why' safety matters, not just 'what' the numbers are.

We'll only ever tell you what we can actually back up. No hype, no scare tactics.

The ten Future Fluencies

Zavmo analysis

The credential is what you can do today. These are what keep you valuable.

A qualification proves you can do the job as it's defined today. These ten are what decide whether you're still the obvious person for it in five years. They're the capabilities employers are now writing into senior roles faster than people are learning them. Zavmo weaves them through whatever you study, so you come out with both: the credential and the fluency.

The highlighted ones are the Fluencies your role leans on hardest, from how International Health and Safety Coordinator is actually changing. In about two minutes, the free confidence check asks where you stand on each of the ten. That's the whole check, and it's what makes the plan yours rather than generic.

12The team that's yours

No two people are taught the same way. This is one-to-one, not one-to-many.

Zavmo is a hyper-personalised AI learning platform. Twelve virtual tutors, each with a different way of teaching, and one orchestration agent that picks the right one for the moment. So every single lesson is shaped around you, your role, and the way you learn. Not a course everyone sits through. A conversation built for you, and no one else.

…and nine more, matched to you after your first chat. Meet all twelve

13What it feels like

A conversation, not a course

Because your tutor knows your role, your projects and your last session, learning sounds like this. And it's different for every single person:

No two people run this the same way

A course is written once and handed to everyone. This is assembled around you, and keeps changing as it learns you. Five things it reads, and what each one changes.

  1. Your actual work Every lesson is taught against a live piece of your own work, not a worked example from a textbook.
  2. What you already know The first conversation finds your starting point, so you skip what you can already do and spend the time on what you cannot.
  3. The conditions you learn under Not a learning-styles quiz. The evidence does not support those. The dimensions the research does back, read once and used to shape the plan.
  4. How far you got last time It picks up mid-thought. The tutor knows what you said, what you struggled with, and what it asked you to try.
  5. Which tutor suits the moment Twelve of them, each for a different kind of thinking. The one who walks you through a first idea is not the one who stress-tests it.

Working with AI on the job

Working with AI

Where AI is starting to help

Let's be real, a big chunk of your week is probably spent on repetitive tasks, digging through regulations, or trying to draft reports. What if you could get that time back? Our AI Productivity Hub is designed to do just that, giving you more headspace for the critical, human-centric parts of your job.

We're not talking about replacing you; we're talking about giving you a seriously powerful assistant. Imagine AI handling the first draft of that tricky RAMS document or flagging a potential hazard before you even step on site. This isn't science fiction; it's here, and it's already helping our team work smarter, not just harder. You'll use these tools to make your day-to-day more efficient, giving you more time to actually be out there, making a difference.

Automated RAMS Drafting

Instead of starting from a blank page, you'll use a generative AI tool that's been trained on our company's specific templates and loads of past successful RAMS. Just tell it the task (e.g., 'replace chiller on rooftop at 123 Main St.'), and it'll spit out a comprehensive draft covering likely hazards, controls, and needed PPE. You then review, refine, and add your expert touch. It's about getting to 80% done in minutes, not hours.

Predictive Risk Hot-Spotting

Imagine an AI model crunching data from our EHS platform, our CAFM system (think maintenance backlogs), and even external stuff like local weather forecasts. It then flags specific properties or activities that have a higher risk of a slip-and-fall or a contractor injury in the coming week. This means you can proactively check in, send a targeted 'toolbox talk' reminder, or even visit the site before an incident even has a chance to happen. It's about being ahead of the curve.

Rapid Regulatory Summaries

Ever stared at a newly published 100-page piece of H&S legislation from Germany or Brazil, dreading the read? Now, you can point an AI research assistant at it. It'll give you a concise, 2-page summary in plain English, highlighting the key changes, which of our operations are affected, and what actions we need to take. It even cross-references against our current corporate policies. This frees you up from hours of dense legal reading.

Tailored Toolbox Talk Generation

Need a quick 5-minute safety briefing for a specific team? This AI tool generates scripts for toolbox talks almost instantly. You just tell it the topic (e.g., 'ladder safety'), the audience ('office-based first aiders' versus 'M&E engineers'), and the language. It creates relevant, engaging, and easy-to-understand content that you can deliver with confidence, saving you precious prep time.

The honest bit

You’ve started things before

Most of them were built for a room full of people who aren’t you. A cohort moves on whether or not your week allowed it, and by the third week the thing you’re behind on becomes the reason you stop opening it.

There’s no cohort here, and no timetable to fall behind. Before anything starts, Zavmo asks when you’re sharpest and how long you can realistically sit down for, then builds the sessions around those answers. A bad fortnight changes your pace. It doesn’t put you behind.

And you only pay once you start learning. Searching and planning are free, and you can cancel any time — so the cost of finding out is an afternoon, not a year.

What it costs

Less than one coaching session. Every month.

A single career-coaching hour costs more than a month of this, and it ends when the hour does. Zavmo doesn't. It's £70 a month, about £2.30 a day, for a companion that knows an International Health and Safety Coordinator, works on the job you actually do, and keeps going at your pace rather than a timetable's.

  • Searching and planning stay free. You only pay when you start learning.
  • Your credits are yours. Regulated, and they don't vanish when a subscription ends.
  • Cancel any time and billing stops. No notice period, no minimum term.

Your path, personalised

You have the map. Walking it is the part we do together.

This route runs to 10 national skill standards. That is a real journey.

Zavmo shapes a learning experience as unique as you are. It fits how you learn, your pace and the work you already do. Every step stays benchmarked to recognised national standards. That’s the plan for becoming an International Health and Safety Coordinator: personal to you, and it still counts. The first steps are free.

Independent research finds well-designed intelligent tutoring performs nearly as well as one-to-one human tutoring: VanLehn (2011), Educational Psychologist.
