Pipes in Space by Phil Woodhouse, health and safety manager, Spiecapag

“Wandoan in Western Queensland provides a stunning sunset and an even more impressive display at night. This natural beauty often goes unseen. I wanted to promote our work as well as the beauty of Queensland’s outback. A full pipeyard on a project represents that a construction journey is about to begin and there is a sense of anticipation, optimism and excitement. I’m very fortunate to have a job that allows me to make a difference and where I am encouraged to use creative methods to promote health and safety. Spiecapag encourages us to innovate so I’ve been able to fuse my passion for photography with my career, to better communicate our messages. The oil and gas industry is at the forefront of safety innovation and that’s what keeps a business agile and competitive; I love being a part of it. The industry also provides massive opportunities, like employment in local towns, and infrastructure to allow Australia to export and import. In my case, it also allows me to capture some of the beauty in places many people don’t get to see.”
