EEAA chief executive, Claudia Sagripanti said in a press statement: “The EEAA is continually revising its risk and safety management program in light of legislation and COVIDSafe practices, and continues to invest in ongoing education and professional development to further promote safety within the industry.

Beaspoke Safety’s director and principal consultant, Bea Tomlin, added: “We are not just about creating a set of documents that sit on a shelf gathering dust, we create true and real documentation that represents an organisation’s work practices that are workable and achievable. Our ultimate goal is for the individual land the team to develop a risk mindset,
so it becomes part of the everyday process of the business.”
