Are you looking for a safety professional who can deliver practical, tailored strategies to tackle your unique challenges and improve your work performance?
Good news! You’re in the right place.
I’m a practical, hands-on safety professional with over 20 years of real-world experience helping construction and the built environment make workplaces better through implementing proactive, focused safety management.
None of that fluffy nonsense, real pragmatic risk-reducing strategies that work.
Safety is not about ticking boxes on forms or completing checklists. It’s about looking out for each other. Paperwork won’t catch you if you slip and stumble, but your co-worker might.
It’s the people who make your workplace safe. Not those procedures tucked neatly away in a folder on a shelf gathering dust.
The real magic happens when people are engaged. Have open and honest conversations, feel valued and are empowered to do the right thing.
What’s stopping you from focusing on what matters and making a difference?

Instead, David works with businesses to identify what they need to overcome challenges and develop tailored solutions to improve organisational performance.

Here’s why and how these skills matter:
