Putting the H in OH&S

Presentation by: Tony Smith, Co-Author, "Putting the 'H' in OH&S"

Presentation package now available (members only)

There is a strong business case for workplace health promotion and wellness programs. Chronic diseases account for a much greater loss of time and productivity and premature deaths of employees than ‘traditional’ safety incidents.
This was brought home in Tony Smith’s presentation on this subject to Central Safety Group on 12 March 2013. Tony, a risk and safety practitioner, is co-author with Dr John Tickell of a new book Put the H in OH&S, which is designed for those responsible for workplace health and safety.
Tony gave details of how good workplace health promotion programs can have strong benefits for both employers and employees as well as the wider community.

The presenter:

Tony Smith served 20 years in the Royal Australian Air Force until 2000. From here he “stumbled” into an OH&S advising role, before becoming appointed by the Victorian WorkCover Authority (WorkSafe Victoria) as an Inspector. After two and a half years in that role, he became Health, Safety & Systems Coordinator with a Victorian regional water corporation. He is now responsible for the overall corporate risk portfolio of the organisation as well as its health & safety function. Tony joined the Safety Institute of Australia in 2004 and is a Fellow of that organisation. He is also an active member of several industry and regional risk and safety networks.
