KEYNOTE SPEAKERS
Opening Keynote - Post Dreamworld Risk Outlook
Aaron Guilfoyle is Special Counsel at MacDonnells Law. In 2019, Aaron was appointed as Queensland's inaugural independent Work Health and Safety Prosecutor. In that role, Aaron led the successful Dreamworld prosecution and secured convictions in Australia's first Industrial Manslaughter prosecution. He will take us through his journey from his role as Prosecutor to Law Firm and his views on the risk outlook in the current environment.
Closing Keynote - The Hero Code
Sarah Gamble is the Chief Operating Officer of Fusion Safety. Much of the focus on safety is around safety management systems and risk assessments, leading to structures and processes that control the work environment. Often, the way people work together is not formally considered; human interaction is overlooked and may lead to workplace cultures that are below standard. Sarah talks us through Fusion Safety's Hero Code Program and their approach!
