Our professional WHS consultant partners provide tailored, dynamic and innovative health, safety, wellbeing and risk management services in partnership with our clients nationally. Our approach is collaborative. We will support you to solve problems and transform your organisation’s health, safety and risk performance.
Our mission is to maximise human and organisational potential through targeted and solution-focused health, safety and risk management services.
We are small and that’s the way we like it. As a boutique provider, we have the time and energy to be focused on our clients and to understand their issues and needs. Our small but experienced team of consultants see the bigger picture in addition to the details and will tailor our guidance and solutions in direct consultation and partnership with you.
Thinking Outside The Box
We are very conscious that there is no “one size fits all” all approach to health, safety and risk management and as such will work closely with our clients to identify and implement tailored programs and experiences leading to sustainable outcomes.
Practical Advice
We are adept at providing practical advice and coaching to enable organisations to be legally compliant, but we extend beyond this to focus on the human aspect of work, the decisions we make, the workplace cultures that exist and the physical design of the workplace environment.
Who we are
Shared Safety + Risk’s Director, Sue Chennell
Sue started professional life as a Physiotherapist and quickly moved into working with elite sports teams and professional athletes, where maximising individual and team performance was always the goal.
When sore thumbs drew her into injury prevention and ergonomics, Sue quickly saw that the workplace was not dissimilar to the sports field. Creating healthy and safe workspaces and people not only amplify human potential but also that of teams and organisations more broadly.
Sue has additional qualifications in Ergonomics, Lead OHS auditing, Executive Coaching and is credentialed in the WELL AP, the evidence-based building and organisational strategy that can improve the health and well-being of people within the built environment.
Fast forward almost 20 years in the health and safety industry and 12 years as Founder and Director of Shared Safety and Risk, Sue’s passions still lie in people. Observing, collaborating with and coaching individuals, teams and clients to solve problems and integrate health and safety management into the day to day.
Sue’s other passions are the ocean, the environment, taking the odd (calculated) risk and adventuring with her family and lovely little rescue dog and office safety rep, Lightning!
As a skilled people manager, Sue has built an experienced, mature yet dynamic team of associate WHS consultants and Workplace Psychologists committed to Shared Safety Risk’s collaborative approach.
