Request a Safety Ambassador or Safety advocate visit
Our Safety Ambassador Shane Webcke and Safety advocates each have a different and powerful story to share, to inspire workers to think about workplace health and safety.
A Safety Advocate can attend your event – whether it’s your annual staff BBQ or a regular workplace safety meeting – to speak to workers about the importance of safety in the workplace.
