- Rob has completed a National Diploma in Workplace Health and Safety.
- Rob is extremely passionate about workplace first aid and workplace health and safety. This comes from an attitude that it’s NOT ok for NZ businesses to injure employees whist at work.
- Rob’s ethos is that all employee’s deserve to go home in the same condition as they arrived..
- Rob gets his energy and enthusiasm from knowing that First Aid Christchurch makes a huge difference in the local community by training thousands of course participants every year in life saving first aid skills.
- Rob also loves being a part of First Aid Christchurch and TriEx because they are both industry leaders in their respective fields.
- Rob knows that the corporate clients that First Aid Christchurch support have a strong commitment to a safety first culture and a strong attitude to ensuring that they have adequate first aid trained employees across their sites and work teams.
- When Rob is not working he enjoys competing in the Coast to Coast which he has managed to complete as an individual and survive intact on 2 occasions.
- Rob loves to spend time with his two boys, Riley, who is 6 and Kalan, 4.
- Rob is an avid winter skier and loves turning into a human snow ball from time to time…
- Something you didnt know about Rob is that he has an aversion to seeing and talking about blood and medical injuries..
- Because of this you unfortunately won’t be seeing Rob at your next first aid course because he knows you would have a real life patient to work on after he turns white and faints.
