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.

Bridging the Gap Between HR and Safety | Fatality Free Future S2 #9
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
The Human Resources and safety worlds have a tendency to steer well clear of each other. Renowned HR professional James Cooper is working to change that. He believes strongly in the importance of HR and Safety departments collaborating toward a shared outcome and common purpose: improving and protecting the wellbeing of people at work.
With new safety legislation now implemented Australia-wide and an increased focus on psychosocial hazards, it is more important than ever for safety and HR professionals to draw on each other’s strengths and expertise. In this episode, we also discuss the risks of siloing these two areas and share practical tips for strengthening partnerships across all areas of an organisation.
