The Final Wrap & Review of HSC17 Jun 202400:59:18

It's done. Season 4 is completed. A wrap up with the lovely Karina Bourne covering all 4 Seasons of our 1st venture into podcasting.

A huge thank you to all of the wonderful guests who gave up their time, their experiences, their stories and their wisdom to help you the listeners.

The safety community is somewhat uniquie in most love to share their stories and this made the pod both interesting and easy to create.

A big thanks to you, all of you who have downloaded and listened, gave support, suggestions and feedback to us. Your help was never taken for granted and will not be forgotten.

Finally a huge thank you to Karina who supported and encouraged this endeavour (and all of my strange ideas). Without her none of what has been aired would have. She is my rock and my muse.

Thanks for listening. We have some great guests coming up in future pods so get ready to learn. Until next time, enjoy the rest of your week, and stay safe. https://plus.acast.com/s/health-and-safety-conversations.

Craig speaks of his time in safety and the unusual pathway that led to a career in safety, Safety Champion Software, how COVID affected businesses in Victoria and his time at the Australian Institute of Sport.

Craig is the perpetual nice guy who deserves the success he has achieved.

I hope you enjoy listening to Craig as much as I did.


Craig is a driven entrepreneur who has dedicated his career to making health and safety accessible and easier for people of all backgrounds and expertise levels. His journey began in the high-performance industry, where he quickly gained valuable experience and knowledge.

During this time, he identified a gap in the market for consulting services that were purpose-driven and tailored to small and medium-sized businesses. In 2011, he founded Action OHS Consulting, which focuses on providing meaningful and relevant advice to these businesses.

 

Craig's commitment to improving health and safety practices led him to create Safety Champion Software in 2015. This innovative software was designed to meet the unique needs of smaller businesses and make safety compliance more accessible and user-friendly. As of January 2023, Safety Champion has scaled rapidly, supporting over 1,500 clients.

 

Both Action OHS Consulting and Safety Champion Software have grown significantly, employing over 40 people who share Craig's passion for improving health and safety practices. With his leadership and expertise, Craig continues to drive these companies forward, making safety more accessible and easier for businesses of all sizes.

Chuck Casto13 Mar 202300:51:26

On March 11, 2011, fifty minutes after a magnitude 9.0 earthquake hit eastern Japan, a tsunami 45-feet high engulfed the nuclear power plant known as Fukushima Daiichi, knocking out electrical power and all the reactors' safety systems. Three reactor cores experienced meltdowns in the first three days, leading to an unimaginable nuclear disaster. The person the Tokyo Electric Power Company called for help was Dr. Chuck Casto.


What an amazing and humble gentleman. A great honour and pleasure speaking with Chuck, I am sure you will love this conversation as much as I did.


Dr. Charles Casto is a nuclear safety and regulatory professional with 38 years of experience consisting of positions of increasing responsibility, including executive, regulatory, technical, and operational areas of expertise. He was a member of the U.S. Government’s Senior Executive Service, and last held the position of NRC, Regional Administrator, Region III, overseeing 23 reactors in eight states as one of the senior administrators for the United States Nuclear Regulatory Commission.


Dr. Casto led the integrated US Government and Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) efforts in Japan during the Fukushima nuclear accident in 2011. Working directly with Ambassador Roos, and coordinating with the NRC’s Emergency Operations Center in the U.S., he represented the United States Government to the Japanese Prime Minister’s Cabinet. His efforts are widely recognized as being a singular contribution to the emergency response during the Fukushima nuclear crisis, through his efforts in coordinating the U.S. government response, providing technical consultation to the Daiichi plant manager and Japan’s nuclear agencies, and serving as a liaison to Japanese Prime Minister Kan Naoto during the Fukushima nuclear disaster. After serving for 11 months in Japan as the U.S. government’s lead nuclear representative during the crisis, Dr. Casto received the Presidential Distinguished Award (2012) from President Obama; for his contributions to the U.S. government, he previously received the Meritorious Rank Award (2009) from President Bush.

John Shaddick27 Feb 202300:45:41

In this weeks episode John Shaddick of Sundrstrom Recruitment talks to us about the recruitment for health, safety, environment and quality roles, the need for an agency that looks after and builds relationships with companies looking for talent and the conditions and employment market particular to the safety industry.


Great listening for those in management, recruitment, HR and those looking to enter the safety industry as well as those looking for a new challenge.


I hope you find this as interesting as I did.


John Shaddick is the Director of Sundstrom Recruitment. He is WA’s leading recruiter of

Health, Safety and Environmental professionals. He founded the agency in 2020. By focusing

on this specialist area and committing wholly to client satisfaction, the business is achieving

rapid and sustainable growth and now leads the market.


John came to recruiting from a varied international background in the mining and

technology sectors. While qualifying as a driller with a leading mining services provider, he

identified the critical importance of dedicated HSEQ professionals within high-risk

businesses, and the importance of cultural and technical alignment between professional

and company. However, there was no recruitment agency specifically meeting this critical

need. John decided to set one up himself. This decision proved fruitful, even starting during a worldwide downturn, Sundstrom

Recruitment has rapidly grown to a team of five and is now the largest dedicated HSEQ

recruitment agency in Western Australia.

Joe Meanen06 Feb 202300:47:27

Thirty four years ago the world lost Piper Alpha. Piper Alpha pride of Britain's North Sea Oil was the first oil rig lost to fire.

Of the 226 men on board only 61 would survive the night of July 6 1988. Today's guest is one of the 61.

Piper Alpha was originally designed for oil production but was also connected to three other rigs and modified for gas production.

At the time of loss Piper Alpha was producing 10% of the total North Sea production.

It is estimated that the cost of losing the oil rig was 1.7 billion pounds

The Cullen Inquiry into the incident was damming making 106 recommendations although no criminal charges were ever laid.


Joe Meanen was a scaffolder on Piper Alpha on that fateful night.

He tells his story. The initial explosion, the chaos that ensured and his escape with his life.

Not to be missed.

Joe also gives his prognosis on the causes of the incident and reflects on his life since the disaster which took so many lives.
