Are you ready to scoop up an exciting career with one of Australia's most loved and trusted dairy brands? Bulla Dairy Foods is 100% Australian owned and operated and has been proudly making dairy products in country Australia for six generations. We are one of Australia's oldest family-owned dairy companies and believe in our brand, our people and take pride in crafting dairy products for the world.
We currently have an exciting opportunity for a Full-Time Safety Lead to join our Operations Team.
At Bulla, we don't see safety as something owned by the Safety team. We believe the most effective safety outcomes are achieved when leaders and employees are actively engaged in identifying hazards, understanding risk and developing practical solutions together.
This role is much more than compliance, audits and systems. It is about building relationships, understanding work as it is performed and helping create an environment where safety conversations are open, constructive and solution focused.
Are you someone who has a people-centered approach to safety, builds trust, can coach and mentor and turn frontline insights into practical improvements? If so, this role is for you.
What’s the Scoop?
- Provide practical, credible and risk-based safety advice to site leaders and frontline leadership.
- Coach leaders to understand and fulfil their safety responsibilities.
- Support the identification, assessment and effective control of operational safety risks.
- Challenge practices or decisions where safety risk is not being effectively managed.
- Support the development and delivery of site safety improvement priorities and plans.
- Facilitate effective consultation and engagement with employees and Health and Safety Representatives.
- Maintain visibility across operations and build trusted relationships with leaders and employees.
- Support effective management of contractors and other parties undertaking work at the site.
- Facilitate and ensure investigations move beyond immediate causes to identify underlying and systemic contributors.
- Support implementation of company safety standards and minimum requirements.
- Monitor the effectiveness of key safety processes and controls.
- Ensure incidents are investigated, documented and resolved in a timely manner.

- Strong working knowledge of Victorian occupational health and safety requirements and contemporary risk management practices
