An accomplished and skilled professional with extensive experience in Health and Safety, Leadership, Human Factors, Enterprise Risk, and Business Resilience across a range of industries. Over 20 years in operational, strategic and project roles and highly proficient in verbal and written communication, people management, problem-solving, and strategic thinking.Able to manage change and translate organisational strategies into operational practice resulting in significant improvements in safety performance and workplace culture. Combined with a desire to continually expand on experience and knowledge, and impact all levels of an organisation to achieve tangible results.During my time working in various roles, I have been exposed to many different industries and their associated risks. I have learnt that risk management is the foundation of effective health and safety performance and that the safety climate of an organisation is highly dependent on the level of worker consultation and engagement.I am a believer in the modern theories of health and safety that take an evidence-based approach to improve organisational performance by developing safety systems that reduce bureaucracy, remove safety clutter, and empower workers. This is tempered with the understanding that compliance with relevant legislation still needs to be demonstrated to maintain a defensible position but should not be the main driver of good safety practice.Relevant qualifications include a Bachelor of Occupational Health and Safety from Central Queensland University, Certificate IV in Training and Assessment, and Queensland Fire Safety Advisor. I am also currently enrolled in the Graduate Certificate in Safety Leadership at Griffith University.Keywords for David Hills: WHS, OHS, HSE, HSSE, Health and Safety, Risk, Human Factors, Ergonomics, Change, Culture, Safety Differently, Communication, Consultation, Leadership, Strategy, Business Resilience, Business Continuity.
