TrainedWe believe elected health and safety representatives make a very significant difference in helping to achieve better health and safety outcomes in workplaces, particularly in those workplaces where managers and supervisors are also trained.
This is because health and safety representatives provide employees with a pathway to have their views and concerns about health and safety heard by the employer.
CoachedWhether you are a workplace leader, a health and safety representative, or an individual wanting to be the best you can be, when you engage us as your Coach you won't get therapy, mentoring, training, consulting, nagging or a predetermined agenda from us.
Instead, you'll be challenged to think differently. You'll close the gap between where you are and where you want to be.
The Big B Safety Network is a great way to stay connected to ongoing professional learning, updates, webinars and Big B safety events. Our webinar series is presented quarterly and is complimentary to network members.
Testimonials
I highly recommend coaching to anyone who wants to be energised, revitalised and just plain happier. Brian is fantastic. Thank you so much.
Barry
Brian helped me to expand my thinking and to look at my life as a whole.
Jane
It was great, when I get back to work I’ll put into practice what I’ve learnt about safety in general, especially the safety of powered machines.
Paul
The series wasn’t what I was expecting, but it definitely delivered what I needed. Brian did not bring his agenda along at all, all the twists and changes came from me, but he made it possible.
James
I enjoyed the discussion about risk, hazard identification and consultation.
My learning was motivated by the way Brian guided us through learner questions and how we applied these to scenarios to our workplaces.
Amy
It is true to say that before commencing my coaching program with Big B, I was in a rut.
