A Work Safety Officer (WSO) is responsible for overseeing and promoting safety practices in construction, maintenance, and other works-related activities within the airport environment.
Their primary goal is to ensure that all works and projects are conducted in compliance with safety regulations, industry standards, and best practices to minimise risks to personnel, assets, and the public.
A WSO plays a critical role in maintaining a safe working environment for construction, maintenance, and other works activities at the airport.
Responsibilities of a WSO include conducting safety inspections, identifying potential hazards, and implementing measures to mitigate risks.
WSOs may oversee emergency response plans, enforce safety regulations, and provide training to staff on safety procedures, as well as regularly monitoring compliance and incident reporting.
