Welcome the new boys!
IPM welcomes Barry Fleming to the WH&S consulting and training team. Barry is a ?through and through Irishman? who relocated to Australia two years ago to start a new life In addition to a good dose of Irish charm, Barry has significant Australian and Irish experience in construction, manufacturing and general WH&S. He has seven years? experience working in WH&S roles in both countries. He has a Bachelor of Science with a major in Occupational Safety and Health. Barry is experienced in auditing (trained lead auditor), WH&S management system development and implementation, hazard inspections and management, developing risk registers, WH&S consultation training and committee development, WH&S legislative compliance audits, induction and training.
Since our last edition, IPM has grown our Launceston office by one member ? Peter Kelbassa. Peter is a highly experienced safety trainer who has joined us after 12 years working with Queensland mining clients. Peter is a former ambulance and rescue officer with extensive background in work at heights, confined spaces, permit to work, low voltage rescue, emergency planning and first aid. Peter has prompted IPM to dive into the high-risk work and compliance training fields. Please contact us if Peter could assist you in managing these risks better.
The third bloke added to the IPM team is the dynamic Oliver Bodak, Exercise Physiologist, Ergonomic Consultant and Rehabilitation Provider. Oliver has been working in Queensland?? with Kinetic Health. Oliver is also a former Ambulance Officer with the Queensland Fire and Rescue Service and a former Australian Triathlon Team member. He?s now a keen road cyclist, so if you have any need for fitness advice or workplace health and fitness programs, along with our wonderful Kirby Dillon, IPM has a dynamic team of ergonomic, manual handling and fit for work consultants.
In addition, we are proud to announce that IPM will be sponsoring one of the WorkSafe Tasmania Awards. As a show of commitment and encouragement for all Tasmanian enterprises to manage risks well, we are sponsoring the IPM Best Solution to an Identified Workplace Health and Safety Issue. We look forward to congratulating the winner and we hope it is you.
One great aspect of being in the consulting business is that jobs come along that are an unexpected delight. In March, Martyn and Peter travelled to the west coast for the Department of Infrastructure, Energy and Resources to assess the WH&S of the Wilderness Railway. This is a wonderful Tasmanian travel attraction that needs to be experienced to be believed.
On the 17th of March we supported the Tasmanian Minerals Council by attending the Tas Minerals Expo where we held an information and marketing stall. IPM staff Caroline Langley, Matt Gmelig and Peter Kelbassa provided great advice and demonstrations of noise and dust monitoring equipment, along with mines rescue and safety.
At the Expo the team?s message focused on the importance of Strategic and Whole of Site risk management, and getting the priorities and programs right for the range of site risks such as lead, dust, silica, diesel particulate and other hazardous substances. IPM?s emphasis on thoughtful and risk prioritised monitoring was well received and struck up some useful conversations for participants.
With IPM?s extensive and growing Occupational Hygiene services for the mining and minerals processing sector, Matt Gmelig has taken on a Specialist Consultant role to co-ordinate, improve and extend our work with mining and minerals clients. If you?re in mining and minerals please contact Matt directly if you would like to discuss anything about your WH&S needs.
