SafetyPro Team

Simon Lawrence Director SafetyProSimon Lawrence - Director

My tertiary qualifications include BSC (Hons) Environmental Science (University of Plymouth, UK). Arriving in New Zealand in 1979, I worked as the health and safety coordinator for Alcan New Zealand before joining Melbourne based Richard Oliver, a risk management consultancy, in 1991.

In those capacities, I accumulated knowledge and experience in the fields of metal fabrication, textile manufacture, plastics, rubber, science and research plus many other industries. This role included a wide spectrum of risk classifications, including health and safety, fire protection, business interruption and environmental.

I became self employed in 1999 and founded the consultancy that is now called SafetyPro. My strength is in providing high value occupational health and safety systems advice, auditing, training and coaching. I believe I can give best value by strong guidance, by knowing my subject area and by cutting through the various myths and misunderstandings around occupational health and safety. I can be outspoken about health and safety, which gets a “bad press” sometimes, due largely to an amount of misinterpretation and a lack of expertise by some consultants.

I have developed a number of safety management systems, notably; “SafetyBase” which is a web based safety software solution that has evolved from many years of experience auditing, coaching and trouble shooting.

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.
