Head of $afety.........hmmmm interesting title although it's doubtful that anything will be done to change a festering culture that discourages reporting and persecutes those that intervene to stop unsafe practices.
When you have a risk management system that is build on off balance sheet cost mitigation, then the 'Head of Safety' needs to have a lot of hands on aviation experience, a thick skin and an airtight exit clause in their contract.
The Q $afety Management System is a shambles as evidenced in the results of the recent Group Safety Survey.
.........and just like a CASA tough talk editorial, another over rated QF Exec salary will do little to fix the problem.
