REAL INDUSTRY SAFETY KNOWLEDGE

Health Safety Environment (HSE) Specialist in Construction, Mining, Renewables, Gas | Advanced Expertise in Safety System Development | Auditing | Proven Leadership

Meeting James for the first time during attendance at the recent Australian Wind Industry Construction Summit, i was immediately impressed by James passion and commitment to health and safety and his comprehensive knowledge of current best practice and challenges we are facing. The overview of the "JobReady for Wind" pilot program was inspiring and to see this industry first initiative assists us working within the Wind Industry to appreciate the value in such programs. The concepts to align leadership, engage the workforce and strengthen capability are key for this industry to raise the bar regarding safety performance. I look forward to following this journey with James and his partners. Regards David Linderberg (Windlab Australia).
