Proactive measures to prevent accidents and injuries will be initiated under your guidance, and any personal injuries will need to be reported immediately to ensure appropriate treatment and minimize the risk of further harm.

Your responsibilities will also include planning, assigning, prioritizing, and evaluating the work of your subordinates. This encompasses interviewing and selecting new employees, assessing their performance, approving or denying leave requests, initiating disciplinary actions when necessary, and determining training needs.
