AI know-how & OHS

Date & Time: Tuesday 14 October 2025, noon

CSG Hybrid Lunchtime Presentation - via zoom or in person

Speaker:  John Ansley, Co-Founder & Head of Revenue, Knowby

Venue:  Regus Yarra Room, 50th floor, 120 Collins Street, Melbourne

Topic: OHS & Forensic Mental Health

The topic of Artificial Intelligence (AI) is being met with rising interest and speculation about how it can be applied in the workplace. An example of the successful use of AI in OHS will be presented to Central Safety Group on Tuesday 14 October by John Ansley, co-founder of Knowby.
They have developed a digital tool, Knowby Pro, that takes the complexity out of instructions, giving instant access to critical information. John will demonstrate how the Knowby Pro platform works, and the different ways it can be applied in business.
CSG Committee member Gavin Kenny, who is Head of Health and Safety Systems Transformation at Opal, will contribute to the presentation by talking about how he uses the tool at his workplace. He will give his perspective on its application at Opal, and how it has improved their OHS communications.
Billed as an alternative to those painful how-to manuals and instructional videos, Knowby Pro allows users to create SOPs or work instructions using a combination of text and images and/or video, with the help of AI.
John and Gavin’s presentation will include an opportunity for questions from the audience.

Note: RSVP by close of business Monday 13 October 2025.  When booking, please ensure you select the October Event from the dropdown list (shaded orange), to RSVP.

OHS & forensic mental health

It is always fascinating to hear about different workplaces, and Forensicare is certainly different.  Craig began by stepping us through the scope of this service and the health and safety challenges.  There are occupational violence and aggression hazards as well as psychological health hazards associated with the work. 

The most interesting part, for me, was hearing how Craig entered this field of work without a great understanding of what the challenges would be, but was able to draw on his many years of experience in the health and safety field to face those challenges with great effect.  The skills we have as health & safety professionals cross industry groups and a set of fresh eyes and experiences can really make a difference.

Craig offered a range of practical tips that can be adapted to many workplaces. He also stimulated a lot of discussion as proven by the extensive conversation following the formal part of the presentation.

A great talk, Craig, and a great professional development story.

OHS & forensic mental health

Date & Time: Tuesday 8 July 2025, noon

CSG Hybrid Lunchtime Presentation - via zoom or in person

Speaker:  Craig Ramadge, Health Safety & Wellbeing Advisor, Forensicare

Venue:  Regus Yarra Room, 50th floor, 120 Collins Street, Melbourne

Topic: OHS & Forensic Mental Health

As many of you know, Victoria is entering a new era of workplace safety with the upcoming implementation of the Occupational Health and Safety (Psychological Health) Regulations, set to take effect in December 2025. Craig Ramadge’s presentation to Central Safety Group on July 8 will draw on his experience working in the area of forensic mental health to explore the implications of Victoria’s new psychosocial regulations for employers and employees.
These regulations place a stronger emphasis on identifying and managing psychological hazards - including exposure to trauma, violence and high-stress environments - all of which are highly relevant in forensic settings.
Craig will take us through the unique physical and mental health challenges faced by workers in forensic mental health roles, and how the changes to WorkCover Mental Injury claims in Victoria impact these workers.
