Rob’s Team at GSD Safety ensures protection for the people, the business and the reputation. They ultimately aim to minimise risk, asses safety and ensure best practices are followed. GSD Safet develops its safety culture roadmap to implement continuous improvements across all elements of the business by meeting obligations under the WHS Act and providing evidence of monitoring, measuring and reporting. In this extensive discussion, Rob and John talk about: - What is the real meaning of safety? - What it encompasses - How a lot of people misunderstand it - Safety isn’t limited to having documentation in place - Look at external pressures too - Reduce cost with better safety - Reduce costs of people - Reduce costs of the business - Ensure that your business’s reputation is safe - Contractors are more likely to be injured because they don’t know your processes. - Harassment is a common safety issue but not a lot voice it out - Sexual Harassment is a heavy and impeding issue - There is a crossover between HR, Quality and Safety - Safety crosses all departments - Financial, HR, etc. And many more, including Rob’s thoughts on our main topic: “Will Australian Manufacturing ever return to the glory days of the '60s?” Connect with [Rob McDonald](https://www.linkedin.com/in/safety-risk-consulting-compliance-29875666/) of [GSD Safety](https://www.linkedin.com/company/gsd-safety-expert-safety-consultants/about/) on Linkedin or visit their [website](https://gsdsafety.com.au/) for a better understanding of safety and how you can ensure that your business and its reputation are safeguarded from all the risk factors surrounding it.
