Sunday, September 18th
Corrie Pitzer – SAFEmap International
The Emperor Has No Clothes On …
The Seven Deadly Myths of Safety
The management of safety has undergone a number of radical changes in the past 100 years. The most important paradigm shift occurred in the work of Heinrich, then in the advent of the safety systems era and, of late, the behavioural safety approaches that became popular around the world. Each of these ‘approaches’ to safety left an indelible mark on the way we target safety improvements, what interventions are deployed and how those interventions are measured. It also resulted in a number of strongly held “myths” of safety management. Each of these will be discussed, analysed and challenged in this presentation.
Corrie Pitzer is the founder and CEO of SAFEmap International and is one of the leading consultants in Australia. He is currently based in Canada, consulting to mining companies in North America, Asia, Russia and South America.

Jeff MacInnis
Explorer, Award Winning Author, Skier, and Entrepreneur
Jeff MacInnis achieved a four-hundred-year-old impossible challenge when he led the first team to sail the Northwest Passage. This epic journey covered 4,000 kilometres over 100 days in an 18-foot boat–using only the wind and a dream as the sources of power. The expedition survived one of the harshest environments on the face of this planet, through an ice-choked passage that has claimed more lives than Mount Everest.
Jeff has been involved in numerous gruelling challenges including the Eco-Challenge, the World Championships of Expedition Racing, watched by over a billion people. He led his team through 500 km over nine days through dense rainforest, ancient caves and some of the most beautiful coral reefs on the planet.
Using extraordinary footage, Jeff illustrates what it takes to go to the extreme and succeed. As a world-class speaker on teamwork, leadership and excellence, he has inspired, coached and motivated over 500 audiences in nine countries.
