involved with the general audits that are carried out around the site, including, fire
extinguishers, fire exits, tables, lights, 'spill' kits, racking and first aid boxes among
others. I checked each unit and the information I collected was logged onto
spreadsheets and then I organised any necessary repairs or the appropriate contractors
