O autorze

Tania Mol is a Director of Align Strategic Management Services Pty Ltd, a management consulting business in Perth, Western Australia. Her concern for employee health and safety stems from a long family association with the Australian mining industry, known to be a sector with a high level of workplace risk. Her father was an underground miner during the 1960s, her husband is a mining engineer, and many friends have been employed by this sector. She has known injured workers personally and this has provided the impetus to resolve the challenges faced by hazardous industries.From a professional perspective, she also has concern for organizational achievement. In particular, with qualifications and experience in the human resource management and public health fields, she strongly advocates that firms should value the competencies and contributions of their employees. Tania believes that hazardous industries can pursue production and safety concurrently by managing risk effectively, adopting a strategic approach and developing a positive culture that allows workers to take ownership of safety and performance goals. Above all else, Tania shares a vision with those passionate about health and safety, that employees should be able to go to work, make a contribution towards the success of their company, and come home safe and well to family and loved ones.
