Andrew Barrett, Chief Connector at Safety on Tap moderated the panel “Behind the Scenes: A discussion about the things you want to know but never find out”. Panelists were:
Laura Tankenson, Vice President, Environmental, Health and Safety from Paramount Pictures
David T Loyd, Assistant Director, Safety & Mission Assurance, NASA Johnson Space Center
Eric Busch, Vice President – Environment, Health and Safety, Sony Pictures Entertainment
This panel discussion explored the good and bad on everyday work and took a closer look at the ‘behind the scenes’ touching on questions such as:
– What’s your biggest challenge right now?
– How would you describe your relationship with your organisation leaders?
– Do you have a particular philosophy about health and safety?
– What would you go back and change in your career path or decisions? What’s your greatest professional achievement, and why?
ABOUT ANDREW BARRET
I like it outside the box. It’s not as comfortable as inside the box, but way more fun, I learn heaps, and make a bigger difference in the world. Sometimes it’s just outside the box, and I beckon others to join me. Other times I run towards the edges, seeing how far I can go. So, how can I help you?
