Alan Newey doesn’t tell safety stories from the sidelines, he lived one.
In 1999, Alan lost his dominant right arm in a conveyor belt accident, and the trajectory of his life shattered and reshaped overnight.
Now the director of Chat Safety, he speaks candidly to audiences across Australia about the brutal realities of workplace incidents, not just the blood and machinery, but the raw aftermath that echoes through families and futures.
His talks aren’t wrapped in corporate spin; they’re real, visceral, and deeply human.
Alan’s mission is blunt but noble: he just wants every worker to make it home.
Simple. Non-negotiable.
