Corrie is the CEO and Founder of Safemap International. He began his career in human resources, progressing to Group Risk Manager at Billiton (now BHP), where he developed essential safety‑performance strategies for a 120,000‑strong workforce across 65 mining and industrial sites.

Since founding Safemap in 1994, he has consulted internationally across industries—from mining and utilities to defence, construction, and energy—partnering with companies such as Southern Company, International Paper, and Nike.

Corrie's Thought Leadership and Career Highlights:

A pioneering voice on Safety I vs. Safety II integration, advocating for systems that respect human potential and resilience while preventing serious injuries and fatalities.

Developed SAFEmap’s concept of risk competence, reframing humans as dynamic risk managers rather than the “weakest link” in safety chains.

Led cultural safety transformations—such as Southern Company's shift from TRIR‑based incentives to proactive learning and psychological safety—resulting in deeper trust, better reporting, and reduced serious incidents.

Tim does it again! He holds the prestigious title of "most listened to episode" with his first appearance on Larry Wilson Live , and his second time on the show does not disappoint!

Our 30th episode features the one, the only, Tim Page-Bottorff!

Episode Description:

An older and somewhat bitter gentleman stood up and proclaimed, “There’s nothing funny about people getting seriously hurt!” and then he wagged a menacing finger at the group…

True, but you don’t learn much when you’re sound asleep either. So how do you inject humor into your safety training so it’s entertaining, worth listening to, and you don’t cross the line or somehow appear disrespectful to important rules, procedures, checklists, permits and PPE standards? It can be a difficult balancing act. You need to be serious but you will definitely turn people off with too much “doom and gloom,” not to mention that scare tactics don’t really work or work for very long.

Tim Page-Bottorff is an expert at bringing humor into his safety presentations, and he’s been doing this for over 20 years. His keynote presentation: “Humor in Safety” has been done at over 100 safety conferences in North America, Africa, the Middle East and Europe, which is interesting considering that Tim isn’t really very funny (just kidding).

Larry Wilson Live with Alejandro Jaramillo

“Capturing Hearts and Minds” has been the goal for so many EHS professionals, and also for the companies they work for.

The “why” is obvious, but how exactly do you do this?

How can you get all of the employees to buy in, to take the safety message to heart-and, perhaps more importantly - to keep safety top of mind, without letting complacency creep in?

There are lots of theories, but only so many organizations have ever been able to make it all work in reality.

Alejandro and Etex in Latin America have been able to do it, and they’ve been able to do it with “style”. Their employees even made a music video that involves the families (which we will show you). However, it’s more than fun and engagement: They have had a 75% decrease in injuries and injury severity for over 7 years.

But it’s really the change in the safety culture that is so impressive. Tune in to find out how they did it!
