SAFETY ATTITUDES – WHAT HAS CHANGED?

Posted on February 18, 2012 by Admin:AM | Permalink 0
I would very much like to take a newspaper, walk through the doors of Parliament House and slap the thing over a select few craniums – more than a few actually! Seriously, when it comes to Occupational Health and Safety, not much has changed in the 7 years since VOID came to be. We had such high hopes. People were saying the right things and all the buzz words were being cleverly utilised to pacify the grie Read More >>>

SHAME ON YOU PETER HURLEY

Posted on December 8, 2011 by Admin:AM | Permalink 0
I’m a massive fan of 5AA’s Leon Byner so when I heard him intro a segment yesterday that involved Occupational Health and Safety, of course I’m all ears! His introduction blurb was superb as always. He spoke about the need for a rigorous random workplace inspection protocol followed by the enforcement of the legislation – exactly right … but then he introduced his guest and it all went So Read More >>>

LABOR’S CORE VALUES! REALLY?

Posted on November 17, 2011 by Admin:AM | Permalink 0
The above snippet is taken from South Australian Parliament HANSARD – from our Legislative Council in September 2011. We agree with Minister Wortley in this comment. The functions of SafeWork SA are of very high importance and the work undertaken needs to be of a very high standard. If that were more the reality, perhaps there would be less wasted life. Of those lives wasted, perhaps with a higher stan Read More >>>

ADELAIDE SAFETY EXPO 2011

Posted on October 25, 2011 by Admin:AM | Permalink 0
Deep in the trenches of my mind there’s a bundle of nerves having party at my expense. I’ve been frantically tweaking with last minute changes to bring REFLECTIONS a fresh new look. Once again however, what I assumed might have been a fairly undemanding task has ended up being the exact opposite. Not to worry – it’s done now and I can breathe again. For those who have an interest in OHS Read More >>>

OHS – THE LATEST POLITICAL PLAYTHING

Posted on October 19, 2011 by Admin:AM | Permalink 0
I have already made my views felt on the topic in a recent article HARMONISATION LAWS HIT A BRICK WALL at the News Desk. It’s hard to believe that with such a strong consultation process with employer and business lobby groups that we even have an issue with the WHS Bill. You have to wonder why has all this noise started now – years later and after considerable effort (let’s not forget the finan Read More >>>

ABANDONING WORKPLACE SAFETY EDUCATION

Posted on October 6, 2011 by Admin:AM | Permalink 2
In October 2007 I travelled to Tasmania to run REFLECTIONS on invitation by Safety Standards Tasmania. This was during Safe Work Week and the presentation was being run in front of young school leavers as well as the Tasmanian inspectorate. This was also when I first met Karen and Guy Hudson. This was really the first time I had the opportunity to meet someone who had lost a very young member of the workforce. It w Read More >>>
