Risk & Safety Management
Risk Management
I help operators design and embed risk management frameworks that hold up under regulator scrutiny. That includes:
- Gap reviews against legislative requirements & QGN35
- Broad Brush Risk Assessments (BBRA) to identify principal hazards and material unwanted events (MUEs)
- Independent risk workshops and reviews
- Principal Hazard Management Plans (PHMPs) — drafting, revising, or rebuilding the ones that have drifted
- Critical Control Summary Sheets that supervisors actually pick up
- Field verification training so monitoring isn't a paperwork loop
- Worker education on stop-work criteria and CC requirements
- SSE and Risk Owner support for executing real CC audits
- Governance frameworks for Company Officers
- CCM dashboard design for executives who need to see what's working and what isn't
- Incident investigation processes that test for CC absence or failure, not just human error.
Mine Operator SHMS audits & reviews
A compliant SHMS isn't the same as an effective one. I lead audits against both legislative requirements and real-world implementation across the twelve sub-systems:
- Subsystem 1: Management structure
- Subsystem 2: Risk management and change management
- Subsystem 3: Workforce involvement
- Subsystem 4: Performance monitoring and dual assurance
- Subsystem 5: Learning from events and strengthening controls
- Subsystem 6: Audit, monitoring and review
- Subsystem 7: Contractor safety and health
- Subsystem 8: Worker health and long-term exposure management
- Subsystem 9: Emergency preparedness and response
- Subsystem 10: Competency and training
Contractor Management System audits and reviews
If your contractor population has grown faster than your CMS has, this is where things tend to go quiet before they go loud. I audit the system against legal and company requirements, and a sample of your contractors against:
- Safety and health management plan
- Hazard identification and risk management
- Plant, equipment and tool compliance
- Plant and equipment maintenance
- Competency and authorisation
- Communication and engagement
- Adequacy of supervision
- Incident reporting and investigation
- Emergency preparedness
- Document control
