Occupational Health and Safety Presentation

Safety lessons from the top of the world!

The last 500 vertical metres on Mt Everest are without doubt one of the most risky places on the planet. How does a climber get home alive and in one piece!

The "death zone" of Mount Everest

The climbing above 8400 metres on Everest has become known as the “Death Zone” for very good reason. The higher one goes on Everest the greater the chance of a climber not coming home. The death and injury rate on Mt Everest is horrific, so how do the good operators minimise the risk?

Bob Killip's highly engaging keynote speech highlights the safety message of minimising risk by focusing on safety systems, safety culture, teamwork, communication and leadership.

Bob have broken down the elements needed to summit and then return safely, Bob is able to share these insights with the audience using inspiring photos and rare video footage. The lessons learnt and strategies used are easily related to the workplace.

Everest’s hazards are classified using Occupational Health & Safety language from physical, chemical, biological, electrical, radiation, ergonomic and psychological/social and they relate to the workplace surprising well.

Bob relates the Occupational Health & Safety lesson's learnt and even graphically unpacks the loss of his 2 toes from frostbite and the truth of how small things add up in a synergist manner to create an incident.

Even with the best risk management systems in place without an effective and passionate safety culture incidents will occur. Bob’s talk will drive home to your workforce just how important an effective culture is to be safe in your work place.
