Andrew Ferguson joins James for a far-ranging career conversation spanning construction safety, insurance, and community empowerment.
Beginning in the union movement fighting for better worker protections, Andrew grew to lead one of Australia's largest construction unions for 30 years. He's met the grieving families of members lost to a workplace accident. This deeply personal understanding of safety's human impact still motivates him today.
Now Managing Director of specialist insurance broker Coverforce, Andrew explains how data-driven risk management and a culture shift towards prevention are imperative for the industry's future. Can we move from penalising lagging indicators to rewarding leading ones?
With decades advocating for vulnerable groups, Andrew also shares his passions for local government, heritage preservation, multiculturalism, and broad community betterment in Australia. He offers sobering reflections on social cohesion, climate change, rising extremism and prospects for peace.
Tune in for an unfiltered insider perspective from a respected Australian leader still fighting the good fight.
