Track environmental KPIs and statutory reporting; support sustainability initiatives (energy efficiency, solar, EV/CNG expansion).
7) Data, Reporting & Continuous Improvement
Maintain HSE dashboards (LTIFR, TRIR, near‑miss rate, audit closure rate, training completion).
Present monthly HSE reports to management; recommend risk‑based investments and CAPEX for safety improvements.
Digitize HSE workflows (inspection checklists, incident reporting, action tracking) where possible.
