In April, we have had some changes to our Qld. Safety Leaders Group, and we welcome one new member company.
Ewan Meldrum (Qteq) is stepping back from his responsibilities at Qteq – and will also step down as the Safer Together (Qld) Contractor Co-Chair – to spend some well-deserved time with his family, devoting more time to his role as grandpa.
Ewan is a long term member of the SLG – having joined March 2019. The only other SLG colleagues remaining since Ewan looked around the room at his first SLG meeting are Tony Stapleton (BeneTerra) and John Stuart Robertson (HDI-Lucas). Ewan was elected to the Safer Together Qld. Board in December 2019, and served as the Contractor Co-Champion for the Rig Site Safety Working Group prior to being elected as the SLG Contractor Co-Chair in December 2021.
On behalf of everyone in our industry, Ewan – we thank you for your service.
Tony Stapleton (BeneTerra) has been endorsed and appointed to succeed Ewan. Tony is the longest serving member of the Qld SLG, having been appointed in October 2017. He has served on the Safer Together Qld. Board since December 2019, and is the current Contractor Co-Champion of the Safety Leadership Working Group.
In other SLG changes, Gareth Ashton (Qteq), Scott Monaghan (Nacap) and Brennan Reid (Morpheus Energy Services) have all been appointed to our Qld. SLG.
Khoa Dao (APLNG) stepped down from SLG and as SLWG Operator Co-Chair, and Ciaran Hallinan (CST Hire) stepped down from the SLG.
We welcome Peregrine GeoServices as our newest member company.
