Hi, I'm Simon Di Nucci, and I have spent 25+ years as a system safety engineer. I have always sought to pass on my expertise to others.
I was part of the team that taught the official safety engineering courses to all UK Ministry of Defence staff. I then went on to create bespoke safety courses for several different clients, including the UK Military Aviation Authority. I'm now teaching safety online, to anyone who wants to do Safety, Just Right.
To do this, I have drawn on my wide and deep experience in safety consulting and engineering. Much of my career has been working for governments or consulting to the public sector on Australian, UK, US, and European programs.
I am a Fellow of Engineers Australia (FIE(Aust)) and on the National Engineering Register, so studying my courses will count for EA CPD. I have an MSc in Safety-Critical Systems Engineering.
