WHS Officer Cover Letter Template

Dear Hiring Manager, I’ve spent the past five years working as a WHS officer, helping sites run safer and more compliant operations. In my last role I led a risk assessment drive that reduced high potential incidents by a third across the portfolio of sites. I bring a practical, hands-on approach to hazard identification and safe working procedures that fits with how teams actually work on the ground. I’m comfortable with risk management, incident recording and investigation, and return to work coordination. I’ve trained teams in PPE usage and practical safety basics, and I’ve helped implement ergonomic principles and fit-for-purpose PPE training. I’m interested in how [Company Name] approaches its pollution programmes and how the team monitors and reports safety performance. Earlier this year at [Previous Company] we ran an incident investigation that identified root causes in underperforming equipment and poorly documented procedures. We updated the safe operating procedures, adjusted inspection routines, and reallocated resources to critical plant areas. The changes improved compliance during audits and significantly reduced near misses on the shop floor, while keeping line downtime in check. I’m keen to chat about how my background fits [Company Name] and how we can work together to maintain strong safety performance. I’m available for a discussion at your convenience. Kind regards, [Your Name]
