Shane Webcke
Shane Webcke is renowned as one of rugby league’s best front-row forwards. Since retiring, he has become a compelling speaker, author and safety ambassador. Shane has been talking about safety and engagement in one form or another for almost 20 years.
When he played, he didn’t miss anyone on the field, and when he speaks, he doesn’t miss anyone in the room. That’s because he cares about making sure workers go home safe to their families.
“If I can change just one person’s attitude, then it will all be worthwhile.”
Shane’s passion for safety-based workplace engagement makes him a perfect fit for iATSIC.
