Business imperatives and safety outcomes are not always compatible, but Catherine Itman offered a good-news story to Central Safety Group at the April lunchtime presentation.

As a safety specialist in the Safety and Property Risk team at Industry Super Property Trust (ISPT), Catherine spoke about how ISPT maintains a ‘do no harm’ investment and operating philosophy, with HSE principles integrated into all business activity.

Catherine described how the Safety and Property Risk team embraces opportunities to strengthen safety leadership across business functions, within a fast-paced business environment. By leading data-informed decision-making, understanding and translating business drivers into safety outcomes, and supporting change as early adopters, the team has established itself as a critical business function with respected and sought-after expertise.

Established in 1994 by some of Australia’s leading superannuation funds, ISPT has grown a national property portfolio worth over $20 billion. Catherine explained their ‘active client’ business model, where the ISPT Safety and Property Risk team works closely with internal stakeholders and external partners to set standards and influence safety performance.

Fatigue management in a high-risk environment
Fatigue in the workplace can be a critical safety and psychosocial risk. However, some contributing factors are often overlooked, resulting in poor management of the issue.
At our final in-person presentation for 2025 on 11 November, Jane Skillen, OHS Advisor at Victorian Institute of Forensic Medicine, will provide an informative case study on managing fatigue for clinical forensic nurses in regional Victoria.
She will discuss the implications of being impaired by fatigue in such a high-risk work environment, and the importance of recognising both external and workplace factors that can contribute to it.
Her talk will outline strategies to identify fatigue-related concerns early, and what a timely intervention looks like. Come along in person to take advantage of Jane’s extensive experience in OHS and continue the discussion after the formal event is over.
