The keynote speaker for National Safe Work Month in the Northern Territory is former Queensland and Australian front rower Shane Webcke. During his football career, Shane represented Queensland on twenty-four occasions and represented Australia in twenty-six tests and was privileged to be named Daly M Prop of the Year three times.

Tragically Shane's father was killed in a Queensland workplace incident in 1994. Shane was only 18.?He had just started his professional football career under the guidance of Wayne Bennett when he received the news that his world had been ripped apart.?Shane's direct experience with the horrific outcome of his father's workplace fatality has led him to his role as a safety ambassador.

Shane shares his message in the hope it will interrupt complacency, which is the biggest enemy of safety, and motivate others to put safety first, always.
