About SafetyHelp
Welcome to SafetyHelp, a platform born from my lifetime of informal practical experience combined with over 20 years of formal work in the health and safety industry. Our expertise is reinforced by studies in OHS, Risk Management, Compliance, Law, and Computer Programming, among others. I've dedicated my career to enhancing workplace and community safety—evolving from an era of manual, cumbersome tools restricted to professionals, to pioneering accessible solutions for all. My vision has always been to create a future where OHS tools are universally accessible, intelligently automated, seamlessly integrated with risk management systems, and enhanced by AI to foster safer environments everywhere.
With a lifetime of practical informal experience and extensive formal expertise spanning both private and public sectors—including key roles at Anglo Platinum, Metrorail, and Absa—and operating my own OHS and risk management consultancy since 2012, I've witnessed firsthand how effective safety practices transform workplaces and save lives. This diverse experience has provided me with unique insights into safety challenges across multiple industries and organizational scales. SafetyHelp is the culmination of this journey, inspired by my books, Safety First: The Essentials of OHS Plans and Safety First: Essentials for Your OHS Career Journey, to empower businesses, professionals, and communities worldwide.
