About Niru Tyagi

I write about what’s really happening behind the scenes of Work Health and Safety.

I’m a WHS strategist, governance reformer, and founder of WHS Guard—a consultancy built to elevate safety thinking at the leadership level.

Over the past two decades, I’ve worked with emergency services, marine rescue teams, heavy industry, mining, universities, health agencies, NGOs, and boards to help them face uncomfortable truths: most safety systems aren’t broken—they were never built to begin with.

On this Substack, I share:

  • Case studies of system failure and what we can learn

  • Insights on WHS strategy, psychosocial risk, and leadership

  • Breakdowns of WHS incidents you’ve seen in the news (and in films)

  • Behind-the-scenes commentary from a WHS whistleblower and compliance advisor

This space is for WHS professionals, compliance leaders, risk managers, and anyone who’s tired of checking boxes and ready to rebuild trust and safety from the ground up.

Welcome to the frontlines of real risk.
