Bryan Flemming, University of Queensland

As a WHS Coordinator at USQ performing hazard and compliance inspections I really strived to be as inclusive as possible to see that everyone’s needs were met when navigating around the University. When I returned post Spinal injury to visit the University it struck home when I realised how blindsided I was as an able-bodied person ticking off compliance approval on access for disabled persons. I strongly recommend now that compliance and hazards checks need to be assessed or recognized for compliance by the people actually living with the disability. As demonstrated on Briometrix projects, disabled people have the expertise, experience and solutions for the footpath network.”
