H&S Officer / Hse /Ehs Officer

Health and Safety Officer – F1 Northampton

Competitive motorsport is dangerous. Most people think it’s just the driver’s risking life and limb, but the reality is that the rest of the team face far more danger everyday – highly explosive fuel, flammable lithium batteries, radioactive substances, HV electricity, aggressive chemicals, high pressures and temperatures, cobots, dangerous machinery.
