Behind the Scenes at Swissport: A Site Tour at Sydney Airport - International
With Tony Filacouridis Head of HSEQ Asia Pacific Region at Swissport
In late July, Zenergy’s Director Garry Kelly had the opportunity to tour Swissport’s operations at Sydney Airport alongside Tony Filacouridis, Head of HSEQ for Asia Pacific. From baggage handling to aircraft refuelling, the visit revealed the precision, teamwork, and strong safety culture that keeps one of Australia’s busiest international terminals running smoothly.

Zenergy Leaders Forum - 'Psychosocial Safety: Getting it right'
Zenergy recently hosted over 100 industry leaders in Melbourne for an expert panel on psychosocial risk management, featuring Amanda Clements, David Burroughs, and Dr. Rod Gutierrez. As Victoria moves to strengthen legislation in this space, the session offered timely and practical insights.
Key takeaways included:
- Prioritising high-impact hazards like bullying and harassment
- Grouping similar hazards for more effective control
- Empowering leaders as frontline risk mitigators
- Building robust, trauma-informed risk infrastructure
Is your organisation prepared?
