4 KEYNOTE SPEAKERS Professor Andrew Hopkins Australian National University Andrew Hopkins will make two presentations at the Safety2006 Conference. His keynote address "A Critique of 'Acceptable' Risk" will focus on a critical view of the way risk management is sometimes seen as a matter of driving risk down to some pre-determined numerical level regarded as acceptable or tolerable. His second presentation, "Organisational Culture and Safety: the Exposures of F111 Maintenance Workers to Toxic Chemicals" will demonstrate how the culture of an organisation can impact on safety using a particular case study. Dr Maggie Goldie Tyco Fire And Security Tyco Fire and Security (TFS) is a global Division of Tyco Ltd. TFS has 90,000 employees in 100 countries around the world who face risks from working at height, electricity, pressurised gases, driving, working alone and working in environments where other people control the situation such as construction and other client sites. This challenge in TFS is to establish a consistent approach to managing risks in all regions and to hold managers accountable for the safety of their people and the protection of the environment. This presentation describes some of the steps that have been taken to meet that challenge. Superintendent Keith Williams ASM Ambulance Service of New South Wales Keith will address the Safety2006 Conference as a keynote speaker by providing a brief outline of ASNSW Rescue and Special Casualty Access Team operations, training and past missions. Of particular interest will be details from his personal experience with the Beaconsfield Mine Rescue operation where he was directly involved in the request for assistance, deployment of tasks, pre-hospital care (physical and psychological), incident command, integration of other agencies and provision of support structures.
