SafetyPro Team
Simon
Lawrence - Director
I’m not your average safety hack who makes a
living by peddling run-of-the-mill manuals and standard
advice. I find that tedious and so would you. But when
people tell me I have heard their needs and given them
more than they expected, I call that a pretty good
day. I get a kick out of that.
For what it’s worth, my tertiary qualifications include BSc (Hons) Environmental
Science (University of Plymouth, UK). In New Zealand, I worked as the health
and safety coordinator for Alcan New Zealand before joining Melbourne based Richard
Oliver, a risk management consultancy, in 1991.
I can be outspoken about health and safety. It gets a “bad press” sometimes, due largely to an amount of misinterpretation and a lack of expertise by some consultants. Fact is, safety is about behaviour and while process and procedure are very important, the only two things that make it all work are leadership and individual responsibility.
I have developed a number of safety management systems, notably; “SafetyBase” which is a web based safety software solution evolved from many years of experience in safety auditing, coaching and trouble shooting.
If you’d like to talk, I would love to hear from you. Call (64) 9 535 4355 or toll free within New Zealand 0800 723 371

Blair
Forsyth - Technical Director
Blair networks himself as “Geeky Bastard” but
we’re not sure that tag does him justice. Creative,
insightful, imaginative and a brilliant problem solver,
he has become an essential part of our business as
it develops along the safety software track.
Blair’s role is exclusively in the development
of “SafetyBase” and related IT products.
He was closely involved in the original development
as the architect of the product, which was scoped out
of SafetyPro’s existing IP. He has over 20 years
experience in IT and business. His roles have included
project management of systems and business projects,
IT management, systems design and programming. His
acumen and problem solving abilities bring credibility
and professionalism as we build our reputation in this
field.
Blair has recently been instrumental in developing
SafetyBase in conjunction with the requirements of
two of our major clients and he is working to develop
the IT platform into complimentary or related business
management systems.
Steve Hoeksema
Steve is our contract programmer
and is entirely responsible for writing the SafetyBase programme.
He delivers the upgrades, does the tweaks, advises
clients about technical queries and ensures the hosting
service runs without a hitch.
Steve rarely needs to hear an idea or specification
more than once before committing it to code and the
quality and creativity of his work is second to none.
It is in no small measure due to his skill and expertise
that SafetyBase has developed into a world class software
platform.
