Phil has over 40 years of experience in a variety of roles including fresh food manufacturing, catering, manufacturing, disability and aged care and over 10 years teaching the Certificate IV, Diploma and Advanced Diploma of Occupational Health and Safety.

For the past 10 years Phil has been designing and delivering training and businesses with OHS solutions. Phil believes that safety is about good management and focused leadership. He advocates that the objective of effective and efficient Occupation Health and Safety is to help people to be better leaders and that effective Workplace Health and Wellbeing is about developing a cadre of people who see safety as a way of life not a process.

Phil states that occupational Health and safety is about going back to the basics of how good people do their work and then apply that framework of an appropriate safety process as an overlay. It’s about creating a questioning attitude, a rigorous and prudent approach, and necessary communication to ensure all aspects of an effective safety culture is developed in individuals.”



Phil supports ConneXtions in the development and implementation of sound OHS, Risk and Quality Management and is a valued member of the ConneXtions Team.
