Todays guest on the Podcast is Alex Thomas. Alex is the founder of #PlantASeedForSaftey
If you've checked out Alex's socials, the first thing you'll notice is her bubbly personality and her infectious delivery.
Alex is full of energy full of energy.
Inspired by her journey as a carer for her disabled Dad as a result of his life’s work in agriculture, Alex is a speaker,
facilitator and consultant, and is the Chief Planter of Seeds for #PlantASeedForSafety – a rural social change initiative that spins yarns that save lives, and ultimately, brings people home to their loved ones at the end of each day.
With 17+ years’ experience in work health and safety, Alex was a national winner in the 2020 Syngenta Growth Awards, the 2018 AgriFutures Rural Woman of the Year (South Australia) and the winner of the 2018 SafeWork SA Augusta Zadow Award, amongst others.
For Alex, her work is all about challenging the status quo. About synthesising real life experience with evidence-
based solutions, and about cutting to the core of what it means to be ‘compliant’ with work health and safety legislation: which put simply, is just. don’t. kill someone.
As a consultant, Alex empowers organisations to rethink policies, procedures and box-ticking, and to consider a different approach. A people-based approach.
A Fellow of the Governor’s Leadership Program and a graduate of the National Farmers Federation Diversity in
Agriculture Leadership Program and the Safety Futures Advanced Safety Professional Practice Program, Alex’s
work has been formally endorsed by the Executive Director of Safe Work SA.
Passion, professional rigor and an infectious energy for change are at the heart of everything she does.
