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.

In this episode of the Fatality Free Future podcast, Holly and John bring back Alan Stevenson to discuss the importance of identifying and classifying serious injury and fatality (SIF) events. Alan emphasises the need to consider both the actual and potential severity of incidents, using real-world examples to illustrate the potential for serious harm.
This episode highlights the challenges of managing complex systems involving multiple stakeholders, such as contractors and clients, and the importance of focusing on learning and prevention rather than just classification. Alan also introduces the concept of the energy wheel, a tool for identifying and managing hazardous energies that could lead to SIF events.
