Biography

Tim Marsh is considered a world authority on behavioural safety and has worked with over 500 companies worldwide including Shell, Pfizer, and BBC. He has delivered dozens of keynote talks all around the world and written several books and hundreds of articles.

‘The relationship between worker psychological health and workplace safety has been avoided for far too long by researchers and practitioners alike. Tim’s blue pie model describes this relationship in a way that is easy to understand. People looking for the next “step-change” in safety can use it to address the psychological health of the workforce.’
Joelle Mitchell, Producer, Psych Health and Safety Global Podcast

‘For many years “safety” has been singularly analogous with improving “health and safety” performance. When the reality is – as Tim portrays so effectively in his books and talks – is that only by adopting a holistic approach to reducing risk; addressing human behaviours and wellbeing, can we truly deliver sustainable and optimal performance.’
Steve Booker, Former Global Head of Risk, CBRE Data Centre Solutions

‘When I first read Talking Health, Safety and Wellbeing it spoke to me; Tim articulates this complex area in a user-friendly way. As a result, during mental health awareness week we engaged Tim to present to our teams, supply chain and key clients and contacts. The presentation was thoroughly engaging and did justice to this hugely important topic; linking mental health and human behaviours to safety. It sparked debate, reflection and most importantly, raised awareness. I thoroughly recommend Tim’s human-centred, impactful, holistic and integrated approach to addressing the major causes of human error.’
Laura Thomas, Legal and QHSE Director, Jackson Civil Engineering

‘Tim’s unique writing style makes his content utterly compelling and engaging to all. You always come away asking yourself questions about what you have read and are left wanting more.’
Ian Hart, Editor, Safety and Health Practitioner
