Alford Valley Community Railway is a charming and much loved narrow-gauge railway operated entirely by dedicated volunteers. We offer scenic train rides from the centre of the village, through the Golf Course to Haughton Park Station, providing a delightful and memorable experience for everyone. We rely on the hard work and dedication of our volunteers to keep everything running smoothly. About the Role: As a Volunteer HSE Advisor, you'll play a vital role in ensuring a safe and healthy environment for volunteers, passengers, and visitors. This part-time, voluntary role allows you to utilise your knowledge of health and safety regulations and procedures to contribute significantly to the safe operation of our railway. You'll provide expert advice, conduct risk assessments, and implement measures to minimise potential hazards. Key Responsibilities: • Conduct regular risk assessments of railway operations, identifying potential hazards and recommending effective controls. • Develop and maintain comprehensive Health and Safety policies, procedures, and documentation aligned with relevant legislation and best practices. • Provide expert advice and guidance to volunteers, staff, and contractors on Health and Safety matters. • Investigate any accidents or incidents, analysing root causes and proposing corrective actions. • Oversee the implementation of safety-related training programs for volunteers and staff. • Conduct regular safety audits and inspections, ensuring compliance with established procedures and identifying areas for improvement. • Stay up-to-date with relevant Health and Safety legislation and industry best practices. • Report directly to the designated Management Representative on Health and Safety matters. • Personal Track Safety Course is mandatory (training will be given).
