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 the Research Tells Us | Fatality Free Future #3
In this episode of the Fatality Free Future podcast John and Holly explore the landscape of Serious Injury and Fatality (SIF) research with Ricky Galloway, a senior health and safety consultant at Barclayss®. Drawing on his background in psychology and occupational health and safety, Ricky unpacks three key studies on SIF differentiators, precursors, and predictors.
While non-fatal recordable injuries have declined by 51% over the past 15 years, SIFs have only reduced by 12.5% in the last decade, highlighting a critical gap in current safety strategies. They discuss the implications for organisations, the importance of evidence-based approaches, and why understanding the difference between routine and non-routine work is vital to preventing fatalities.
