What happens
beneath the
surface?
A visible injury, damaged equipment or stopped task is only one part of an incident’s impact. The follow-on work can spread across schedules, people and operations.
Investigation and reporting time, modified duties or replacement coverage, schedule changes, retraining and the effect on team confidence may all need attention. Each situation is different.

A discussion tool, not a cost calculation. Incidents and their effects vary by workplace.

Read Sarah’s bio
I've spent 20 years in aviation, an industry where details matter and safety are never an afterthought. My career started as cabin crew. After a disabling injury, I was placed on the Occupational Health & Safety (OHS) team, where Ryan and I first crossed paths. I also bring six years of experience successfully running my own entrepreneurial venture.
Curiosity drives me. I always want to see the whole picture and understand how things work from every angle. When a problem comes up, I bring an open mind, plenty of resourcefulness, and the flexibility to adapt when things change.
Off the clock, I'm a single mama to two boys. I'm happiest by the ocean, on a hiking trail, or at home with a good cup of coffee and a record spinning on the turntable.
When I'm not behind the keys at Hakina Safety, you'll find me thrifting for my next vintage find or playing chauffeur to my two princes.
