Madeleine Page, Health & Safety Business Partner: Australian Young Safety Leader of the Year 2021

The Australian Institute of Health & Safety (AIHS) 2021 Australian Workplace Health & Safety Awards recognise organisations and individuals demonstrating excellence and innovation in Workplace Health & Safety at a national level.

Madeleine Page was named Young Safety Leader for exploring the use of 360 video to provide people with a realistic experience of being in the vicinity of high-risk work while they were safely in the office. She was also involved in designing and developing the program, which was then rolled out in 360 VR training modules across Aurecon internationally.
