Safety isn’t policy – it’s people.
DeAnne Brabant, Special Counsel at Heaney & Partners and former WorkSafe prosecutor brings a rare dual perspective – legal enforcement and human experience.
DeAnne’s seen the true impact of health and safety failures, from life-changing injuries to families receiving news no one should ever hear.
Her message is powerful:
👉 Safety isn’t bureaucracy.
👉 It isn’t “nanny state.”
👉 It’s about ensuring people come home safe.
DeAnne also shares insights on influencing reluctant leaders, overcoming imposter syndrome, supporting women in safety, and why finding your “tribe” in this industry is essential.
This conversation is a sobering but inspiring reminder of why our work matter – because the human cost of getting it wrong is far too high.
This video is part of our Safety Summit 2025 – Backstage with the Speakers Series.
