• You are the new CE of WorkSafe. What would you do first?
    He needs to listen and review what has happened and then quickly confirm their strategy for the next 1, 3 and 5 years and stick to it. He needs to create a clear message so that people internally and externally know exactly what Worksafe is there to achieve. He then needs to get people out of offices and back on the ground to help businesses and enforce rules.
  • Women applying for more senior roles
    I'll admit that I did get frustrated when working in "corporates" in NZ as there is very much still an old boys club but I'd like to give a shout out to 2 amazing women in the industry - Jo Prigmore, National Safety Manager for Fulton Hogan and Karyn Beattie, Health and Safety Manager at Icon who I see as trailblazers in the industry. I'm sure they still have their day to day issues but they've worked hard and show others what can be achieved.
  • H&S apps (NZ based)
    I run www.engagesolutions.co.nz . We cover all aspects of health and safety in a very integrated way including incidents / hazards / actions / training / uniforms and asset maintenance. An integrated form builder allows you to create the forms you need and automated alerts and actions ensure everyone knows what's happening in real time. Available on web and mobile / online and offline. We have many customers in construction and civils but we also go across manufacturing and distribution / forestry / even veterinary industries. We are NZ based and a lot more cost effective than other solutions. Please contact me if you'd like to take a look? Happy to provide no obligation access.
