He was asked to address a fatigue and culture problem for a QLD mining services company. Researching official guidelines on Fatigue on prominent industry, regulatory and safety sites, he was stunned by what wasn’t being said. It seemed that fatigue was being blamed on poor or inadequate sleep.

In addition to that he has created a powerful Resilience and Mental Wellbeing Program and his most recent creation, The Care Factor.

John recently spoke at our Client Information Session which was attended by a very diverse range of Victorian employer representatives. The topic of John's presentation was 'Creating Calm in a Stressful World'. He provided the audience with some very thought provoking and empowering information that participants could put into practice, not only in their personal lives, but in the workplace. Some of the words used to describe John's presentation by attendees included 'amazing, powerful and engaging'. I would not hesitate in recommending John to anyone wishing to motivate and inspire their audience.

If you want to engage with the workforce and really challenge the norm, then I would highly recommend a visit from John Toomey. Taking the time to focus on the ‘H’ in OHS is fundamental to ensuring workers feel valued and also shine the light on the area many safety professional struggle to do. John takes the audience on a journey about personal health, the impact of poor health on work undertaken and the simple changes we can all do to improve quality of life.
