Lunch & Learn - How broken is our health and safety system?
Event description
New Zealand’s performance in workplace health and safety remains poor compared to other OECD countries, but what is it that needs fixing, is it leadership, our approach to the management of risk or the opportunities we give to our workforce to participate. In this lunch and learn session we will explore the current workplace health and safety environment from our performance as a country to the governments proposed legislative reform and WorkSafe NZ ‘s performance to the outcome of the recent Maritime NZ prosecution of the ex-Ports of Auckland CEO.
What does the current environment mean for your business and what should you do to keep your people safe.
