Safety Transformation, Leadership, and Strategic Management with Corrie Pitzer

July 31, 2025 • Larry Wilson • Season 4 • Episode 31

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.
