Fatality Free Future® Podcast
The program and podcast for safety
We want to see a world where people go to work and come home safely every day.
Over the past decade, more than 1,880 people have lost their lives to traumatic injuries in Australian workplaces. More than 1.16 million workers have made serious compensation claims involving extended time off work (Safe Work Australia, 2024).
We believe these incidents are not inevitable. With the right focus, strategies, and support, they are preventable.
Our mission is simple. To help individuals and organisations focus on what really matters, building safer routines, stronger strategies, and ultimately, saving lives.
The Fatality Free Future® podcast is hosted by Safety Leadership Coach John Barclay and Content Developer Holly Ferguson. We discuss with experts SIF history, ideas and research while providing practical examples, hearing real-world examples and imparting tangible take-aways for listeners to implement in their workplace.

What’s Really Happening on the Ground? | Fatality Free Future #2
Let’s delve into the concept of “Work as Imagined” vs. “Work as Done,” and explore how assumptions and oversimplifications in safety systems can lead to blind spots around serious risks.
In this episode Holly and John are joined by Barclayss® principal consultant Alan Stevenson to discuss how systems are often designed with ideal scenarios in mind, rather than the real-world complexity that workers actually face. They hear about how Alan started his journey in the SIF space and how his learning has evolved over time and what he imparts to leaders he coaches.
