It is this belief that drives Guard Safety to provide simple health and safety solutions in order to create safer working cultures within organisations – to ensure buy in to safety processes.

A champion of maritime safety, Darren Guard, has proven success in working with businesses to achieve strong safety outcomes. While employed as a Fleet Health and Safety Manager for a large fishing company, the vessel Lost Time Injury Frequency Rate (LTIFR- lost time injuries per million hours worked) went from 3.5 to 0.54 in three years.

Darren’s remained involved in safety because he has seen so many people in the industry he knows injured or killed at sea, and feels “It just doesn’t have to be that way”. He believes everyone has a right to come home to their family and friends at the end of the day.
