Jim’s experience includes working within the building, civil, rail, water, tunneling, communication, heavy engineering and power disciplines, and with organisation management and safety professionals teams. He understands the specific requirements those industries require to ensure effective health and safety performance and compliance.

Having extensive involvement in major project tendering, Jim understands Client, key stakeholder and WHS authority requirements and the need for an integrated approach to health and safety management where performance is measured by the effectiveness of the organisations WHS approach and where high order risk management activities contribute to that injury prevention.
With the ever increasing expectation that organisations now require with respect to effective WHS implementation and ‘no harm’ aspirations, coupled with higher standards expected by Client and customers, Jim’s ability to engage with organizational teams in a practical and ‘value add’ approach to get the most out of teams is well regarded within the industry.
Key to Jim’s approach is his ability to analyse organisations WHS performance and method of operations, determine key indicators where improvement is identified, and develop, in collaboration with the organisation team, key WHS strategies which are achievable and sustainable. This includes developing training and mentoring programs for team safety critical roles in order to maximise the effectiveness of the WHS strategies. Jim has worked effectively with organisation subcontractors and key suppliers in order that they perform to optimal standards in line with the organisation WHS systems and strategies.
Jim is passionate about achieving high WHS standards through a proactive and sound health and safety management approach.
