Scotty focuses on a pivotal point in the accident chain: the moment when the worker ultimately makes the decision. His approach complements established safety systems by examining what influences that decision beyond simply knowing the rules. 

Scotty Van der Tol is a tradesman-turned-manager and safety specialist focused on human decision-making. Having worked both on the tools and in management, he understands the pressures and perspectives on both sides of the workplace.

Following an extreme workplace incident that took him away from his trade, Scotty was forced to examine the human thinking behind workplace accidents and the decisions that lead to them. That work now underpins his safety presentations.
