“Encourage safer choices in the workplace.”
Rollo’s working career began at the age of 15 spanning the hospitality, transport, oil and gas and agriculture industries. Over the years, he experienced many varied workplace safety systems and cultures. Rollo made the decision to invest in his own business managing and driving road trains across Australia.
Drawing on his previous workplace safety experiences, Rollo implemented his own approach to ensure safety at work was always a focus and compliant. Unfortunately, this did not protect him from sustaining a permanent injury.
Rollo was riding his motorbike on a Saturday morning, when he was hit side on by a car, being driven by a distracted driver. As a result, Rollo lost his leg and sustained significant spinal damage.
As part of PBF Australia’s injury prevention workplace team, Rollo shares his experience of adopting different workplace safety systems, along with his own story and experiences of a serious incident resulting in permanent, life altering injuries. Engaging with his audience, Rollo’s presentations aim to initiate constructive conversations regarding workplace safety cultures, to encourage safer choices in the workplace.
