About the role 

Cid Burke took the role of Operational Workplace Health and Safety Coordinator in 1988 and showed genuine care and commitment to the safety and wellbeing of all employees. He was also an active and well-known community member, and was much loved and respected in both his workplace and his community.  After Cid passed away in 2008, a scholarship was set up to assist a young person from the South Burnett to gain a qualification in Workplace Health and Safety or related field.
