Location: Amuwo Odofin, Lagos (Manufacturing Plant / Corporate Office — On-Site)
Employment Type: Full-time
Department: Health, Safety, Environment & Compliance
Reports To: Head of Operations / Managing Director
Role Purpose
The HSE Manager will lead the design, implementation, and daily enforcement of Health, Safety, and Environmental management systems across our production facilities, warehouses, and administrative offices.
The role is responsible for mitigating industrial hazards across plastics extrusion, weaving, lamination, printing, and heavy logistics operations, maintaining full compliance with Nigerian safety and environmental laws, and embedding proactive safety discipline across all shifts.
Key Responsibilities
HSE Management Systems, Risk Assessment & Shop-Floor Controls:
Develop, update, and enforce the company’s HSE Policy, Standard Operating Procedures (SOPs), and Safe Systems of Work across all manufacturing lines, utility rooms, and warehouses.
Conduct routine Hazard Identification and Risk Assessments (HIRA), Job Safety Analyses (JSA), and pre-startup safety reviews for extrusion lines, circular looms, lamination units, cutting machines, and flexographic printing presses.
Enforce machine guarding, Lockout/Tagout (LOTO) protocols during maintenance, Permit-to-Work (PTW) systems for high-risk tasks (hot work, working at height, electrical interventions), and safe handling/storage of industrial chemicals, solvents, and inks.
Lead daily and weekly shop-floor safety walkdowns across day and night shifts, issuing corrective action notices and tracking identified hazards to verified closure.
Statutory & Environmental Compliance:
Ensure full operational compliance with the Nigerian Factories Act, NESREA (National Environmental Standards and Regulations Enforcement Agency), LASEPA (Lagos State Environmental Protection Agency), Lagos State Safety Commission, and Federal/State Fire Service regulations.
Coordinate statutory environmental audits, effluent and air emissions monitoring, noise-level assessments, and industrial/plastic waste management with accredited environmental consultants and regulatory agencies.
Manage regulatory inspections, statutory permit renewals, and mandatory workplace incident notifications within legally prescribed timelines.
Emergency Preparedness, Fire Safety & Incident Investigation:
Maintain high fire-safety readiness across high-combustible polymer resin stores, finished goods warehouses, diesel/power generation zones, and printing areas—ensuring fire detection systems, hydrants, extinguishers, and emergency exits are routinely inspected and unobstructed.
Organize quarterly emergency evacuation and fire drills across all shifts, training and certifying internal Fire Wardens and First Aiders.
Lead structured root-cause investigations (using 5-Whys or Fishbone methodologies) for all workplace accidents, near-misses, and occupational illnesses, partnering with HR on NSITF injury documentation and return-to-work assessments.
Safety Training, Culture & Contractor Management:
Deliver mandatory HSE inductions for all new employees, shift operatives, forklift/haulage drivers, and site visitors prior to factory floor access.
Coordinate daily 5-minute shift Toolbox Talks with production supervisors to reinforce hazard awareness, safe material handling, forklift traffic rules, and workplace housekeeping (5S).
Vet third-party contractors, technical vendors, and maintenance teams for safety compliance before granting site access.
Occupational Health, Industrial Hygiene & PPE Governance:
Define PPE specifications for each plant zone (hearing protection in high-decibel production halls, respiratory protection in mixing and printing areas, safety footwear, and cut/heat-resistant gloves), monitoring issuance, compliance, and replacement schedules.
Partner with HR and retained medical providers to coordinate periodic occupational health screenings (audiometry, lung function, fitness-to-work) and maintain stocked first-aid stations across all shifts.
Compile and present monthly HSE performance dashboards (LTIFR, near-miss reporting rate, audit closure rate, and training coverage) to Executive Management.
