Greg Smith

Lawyer, author, and thought leader in safety circles Greg Smith joins Health and Safety Conversations for episode 2 of season 2.

Amazing conversation who I deeply admire and respect for the work he has done and the words he has written. Greg talks about his history in the law and safety, the current and previous legislation governing Western Australia, harmonisation, and the new psychosocial regulations in Australia. He also talks to us about his thought provoking book PaperSafe and gives insights from a legal perspective

Truly worth listening to (and taking note of).
