CEO’s Forum – Key components of safety strategies in peak organisations

The upcoming Zenergy CEO Forum is a unique opportunity to engage with executive leadership to understand how safety strategy integrates with peak industry performance.


Zenergy’s role in industry across Australia involves much more than supporting clients and candidates through our recruitment services and safety consulting. We see that peak organisations have visible safety leadership that starts at the executive level and would like to promote and discuss the strategy around their vision.



Zenergy and the Safety Institute of Australia will host a CEO’s forum in Sydney CBD on Friday 10th June. We have assembled a panel of CEO’s / Executive leaders that will discuss what safety leadership looks like in their organisation and why they believe it forms an essential component to their operational strategy. The aim of this event is to not only highlight key thought leaders in the industry but to consciously promote and raise skills across a wider platform as we genuinely believe that safety should not be viewed as a competitive advantage.

Executive leadership vs Safety Culture


This forum will provide senior and executive leadership the chance to engage with industry thought leaders through an informative Q&A session highlighting how their organisations manage safety and operational performance.


Panellists will provide the key components to their safety and operational strategies as well as discuss the challenges that senior and executive management face in moving safety strategy beyond reactive focused methodologies.

Panel speakers confirmed for the event are:


Paul Scurrah – CEO, DP World

Cathal O’Rourke – Managing Director, Laing O’Rourke

Andrew Penca – Managing Director at Cummins South Pacific

Tim Reardon – Secretary, Transport for NSW

Mick McCormack – CEO, APA Group

What can the audience expect?


The audience for the event will be comprised CEOs, heads of safety, senior operational management and board members / company directors that want to understand how peak organisations are leading strategy across their industry.

The safety profession has evolved significantly over the past decade. Once defined primarily by compliance and operational control, it is now increasingly shaped by leadership, culture and a deeper understanding of people. As organisations face more complex risks, safety is no longer just about systems, it’s about how those systems reflect the realities of work. This shift is evident in the experiences of leaders working across some of the most complex and high-risk environments.
