Background

I have practiced as an Occupational Environmental, Health and Safety specialist since 1993. My experience ranges from direct patient care to full programme development, delivery, and evaluation, all with the aim of preventing workplace injury and illness. I have worked with small, medium, and large industrial, educational, and healthcare organisations in the private, public and government sectors, and have coached managers and senior executives to achieve outstanding health and safety performance.


I assist employers to evaluate their company systems to diagnose and quantify the hidden risks and inefficiencies in their organisation, with the help of Orange Umbrella® tools which I co-created. The leading indicators that are generated help them to pinpoint and manage risk and enable people and companies to thrive. The restorative approach sets the company up for a healthy work culture.


Since 2010, I have managed the Electricity Supply Industry Safety Climate Project (SCP) and communicated findings at the industry, company, and individual level. The valid and reliable information I provide - including over 7000 surveys tracked over 8 years, qualitative data, and thousands of improvement actions - have been relied upon for guiding positive change in the industry. I have worked with all levels of organisations, and the findings have shown the critical role of a restorative approach to governance and leadership in achieving the outcomes that all New Zealand workplaces strive for – safe, healthy, and performing workplaces.
