Bio
David Pearson
During my time with Gardline, I had the privilege to sail with Simon on several occasions. I could tell you of his organisational skills, of his attention to detail, professional demeanour or his excellent work giving first aid demonstrations to the crew, and he would have a dreary, bland corporate recommendation for his profile. I'm not going to do that. I'm going to tell you of a time where the stuffy office HSE side of him took a back seat and I saw him do what a HSE Medic is really there for - saving lives. Early one morning while moored up in Suriname, screams and shouts could be heard somewhere close to our ship. After some searching, a young lady was discovered trapped between out ship and the mooring fenders. She had jumped off a bridge upstream in an attempt to end her life, and had washed down the river into the docks and become trapped. She was severely injured and in a critical condition. I watched from the bridge wings as Simon set to work. He was absolutely calm, steady and level with not a hint of panic or stress about him. He busied himself methodically doing the things medics do. The full extent of her injuries have been lost to me over time, but what sticks with me was that Simon "lost" her at one point, and brought her back. Were it not for Simon, his stellar medical training and knowledge, and the handful of volunteers he selected and the life saving medical equipment we had on board our vessel, this young lady would have succumbed to her injuries and passed away. To this day, when I think of Simon, an image of him calmly kneeling by the woman, his steady voice reassuring her, the contents of our crash bag in organised piles next to him, the sound of his clear instructions to volunteers cones to me. HSE is all well and good, but if you need someone who can deliver that but also saves lives when the "chips are down", lead a team in an emergency and do it when it counts, I can not recommend this man highly enough.

Simon and I worked together on a BP project during our time at Gardline; I was the Party Chief, and Simon was the offshore medic and HSE advisor. Simon actively coached both the Marine and Survey crews in the use of the Safety Observation Card system. He gave regular HSE presentations to raise HSE awareness. A great guy and a great asset to any team.
