Hello from Lisa Sturzenegger WorkSafe's new Operations General Manager It’s a privilege to have the opportunity to write a few words for The Safety Express. While new to WorkSafe, I am not new to the world of safety having been the Director of Community Safety with the CFA for the past four years and previously the Director of SafeKids USA (part of SafeKids Worldwide). Coming from a strong operational background, I have worked with the community, beginning on the frontline as a teacher of children with special needs many years ago. This instilled a passion to make a difference and I continue on this path today with my role at WorkSafe. In this new role, I want to ensure WorkSafe continues to deliver high standard services, providing advice and guidance to achieve quality safety outcomes. I also want to build a broader understanding within the community about why safety at work matters. I understand the challenges and complexities of the work that our Inspectors do and a large part of my focus will be on supporting them as they play their central role in making Victoria’s workplaces as safe as they can be. I have already met several stakeholders from the manufacturing, logistics and agriculture industries and welcomed their frank assessments and opinions of where safety can be improved in the industry. Over the coming weeks and months, I welcome the opportunity to meet many more of you. Kind regards, Lisa Sturzenegger This article is an extract from The SafetyExpress newsletter.
