David Sullivan Adv, Dip FBM
Director of Programs Ag Health and Safety Alliance

I was raised on my family’s farm in Western Australia, which specialized in broad-acre cropping and sheep production. I then completed my studies in Agricultural Farm and Business Management at Marcus Oldham College. After graduation, I had the opportunity to work in the live export industry and then manage a cattle station in the Pilbara. In 2006 I relocated to Canada where a short venture in construction health and safety gave me the additional knowledge to pursue a career in health and safety. I am a farmer without a farm so focusing on agricultural health and safety is my true calling.

My work with Universities in North America to teach Agriculture Health and Safety has given me a great opportunity to reach the next generation of agriculture producers in a fun and interactive way. Bringing the international health and safety perspective to these students is an important way of connecting with students who are involved in agriculture.
