“Injuries are often preventable with the right leadership and culture. By holding this forum, we hope to improve outcomes across the industry and reduce the risk of workplace injury,” Mr McSkimming said.
“By working together, we can understand challenges experienced in all areas of the industry and collaborate on solutions. Safe, reliable and efficient operations keep our ports going, allowing us to meet the needs of our customers and deliver economic benefit back to the state.”
Mr McSkimming said: “Our industry is global by nature so to have an opportunity to all come together for a common goal is fantastic to see, particularly for those who share our commitment to making our workplace safer and more inclusive”.
