The 9 Principles I live by

By Steve Webb

Steve is the Senior Consultant, HSEQ at Compliance Council

I am the kind of guy who fills his life full of activity. From jet skiing, sailing, tennis, hiking and bushwalking, driving, diving, motorsports racing, photography, horse riding, surfing, travel and landscaping. I am a big kid in an older man's body and enjoy what life has to bring. I make the most of opportunities that are presented and like to surround myself with good friends and family. Life lessons I have learnt are:

1. The future of your life and that of your loved ones is fully dependent on the value of safety and the precautions that are taken to prevent accidents from happening.
2. Don't ever trust anybody else to ensure your safety. This includes being told to complete work tasks without risk assessments.
3. Make sure you have the right tools for the job.
4. Life is too short to sweat the small stuff, just about everything is small stuff.
5. To love something is nothing, to love somebody is something, to be loved by somebody is everything.
6. The world owes you nothing, you have to work for everything that you want to achieve true happiness..
7. Achieving your goals is easy when you have a plan.
8. Treat people the way that you would like to be treated.
9. Honesty is the best policy - Integrity is everything.

I am an active participant in life. I enjoy the challenges and learning opportunities that life provides. Working with people and organisations to achieve greater outcomes is a strong passion of mine.
