Dr Dale Cooper honoured to receive the Risk Engineer Achievement Award 2023

Dr Dale Cooper was honoured to receive the Risk Engineer Achievement Award 2023, presented at the biennial Risk Engineering Society Conference, RISK 2023, held in Brisbane on 7-8 September 2023. In accepting the award, Dale Cooper reflected on how he started in risk engineering and described two lessons from his early work that are relevant today. He also provided three personal tips for those who are starting out in the profession (but are relevant for all risk engineers): learn from one another; never be afraid to ask very basic questions; and be inquisitive. An extended version of Dale Cooper's acceptance speech at the Conference dinner is contained in the full post.
