The motivational presentation will outline the details of a workplace accident, linking numerous safety related processes. The story is outlined by the Sunday Age article, To Hell and Beyond (can be accessed below the adjacent photo). These unique experiences, together with a passion for risk and its management creates an organic learning environment.
Professional occupational health and safety, is not about stopping a task, but ensuring it is being carried out in the safest possible manner, all involved completely present, understanding risk. Work must go on, our families require the income, risk is always present, best it is understood.
Passion in safety in combination with masters degree, science based, OHS. Further graduate study in social psychology of risk. Substantial foundational experience in civil, geotechnical, structural and environmental engineering. Well experienced in professional scientific method.
Work with teaching methods, embracing the latest techniques. Risk is undertaken day-by-day, often managed completely by our unconscious. Risk management in today’s workplace will benefit from this understanding.
Australian workplaces have great systems, often not utilized by those working in them. We demystify, teach and promote involvement in safety systems. Employing our service is to initiate conversation and thinking in workplace risk. Less people being hurt, more participation in the safety systems.
It needs to be said Australians have greatly improved our management of risk in our communities over the past 20 years, systems helped, we just need more participation. Safety needs to be interesting and personal in an attempt to keep people internally motivated, working toward a developing culture.
Thank you for considering the cost of safety failure to our communities. Our peers who have continued their work in this field, Thank-you.
