18 years ago Wayne was working for GMH Holden in Adelaide and witnessed a tragic workplace accident that resulted in a death. This was a turning for Wayne to devote his life to making workplaces safer and launched him into a career in safety.

After receiving formal training Wayne moved to Darwin and fixed basic conditions in a warehousing situation that had extreme conditions. Wayne's skill was being able to get the workers onboard through active listening and getting them involved with the decision making process.

Wayne is currently working with Mirrat's in Melbourne

Wayne's motto is

Taking a shortcut is only potentially cutting your, or another’s, life short.
