What does a health and safety manager do?
As a health and safety manager in construction, you’ll be relied upon to promote a positive health and safety culture within your organisation whereby principles of HSE are embedded into the bottom line of your business. You’ll help to ensure that you and your team are seen as trusted partners to your wider business’s operations.
A safety advisor to the construction industry is a role that enjoys a wide remit.
Site safety manager duties include the evaluation of day-to-day business operations through the undertaking of a range of audits and assessments, the outcome of which will help you determine where improvements to health and safety can be made.
You will ensure that safety policies and procedures are adopted and adhered to by the workforce and that the organisation comply with the appropriate health and safety legislation that is required. Using your knowledge and skills you will plan, lead, monitor and review protective and preventive safety measures.
Why is health and safety management in construction important?
Construction health and safety jobs are absolutely vital in the construction industries. All aspects of health and safety should be reported on before any work takes place on site. This is because the industry often operates in hazardous or dangerous environments.
At Acre, we can connect dynamic construction organisations to construction safety managers who are really passionate about their roles, and who are motivated to transform the health and safety industry through meaningful behavioural change.

What health and safety skills do companies need?
Each health and safety role is different, and for each job different technical skills may be required. While the technical skillset varies considerably depending on your position, the organisation you work for, the sector you operate in, and more, there is a growing and much needed emphasis being placed on today’s health and safety professionals having the non-technical skills required to drive change and deliver measurable impact.
At Acre, we developed a non-technical skill assessment tool to objectively measure non-technical skills in HSE professionals. Co-created in partnership with 100+ HSE leaders, our assessment tool provides a benchmark for understanding where an individual’s strengths and development areas lie and enables us to tailor effective development solutions, such as coaching and team training, to close skill gaps and improve performance.
Available at two different levels, our competency framework helps us to communicate what ‘good’ looks like from a non-technical skill perspective from entry and junior level professionals - looking at skills like Planning & Organisation, Team Player and Application of Technical Skills - right through to the c-suite where we measure skills like Innovation and Courage, Executive Influence and Business Insight.
Off the back of these data-informed insights, we deliver coaching and training services to global HSE and sustainability teams. It allows for a consistent approach to development that allows for local flexibility based on the region within which an employee works.
