Hi Shirley
A number of people in the HASANZ Register could potentially help. https://register.hasanz.org.nz/search/ You can use the advance search functionality.
Alternatively some of the compliance certifiers provide advice. https://compliancecertifiers.worksafe.govt.nz/
Thanks

Hi Chris,
A good initiative by CHASNZ.

Hi,
HASANZ is holding a webinar at 12 midday on "'Working Productively from Home''. There will be some interesting resources and discussions as part of that

A very useful survey to capture good information on salaries. This year there are three additional questions around recruitment and how hard is it to find new H&S staff.

I agree they should start applying for health and safety positions. It also depends on what sectors they have worked in, their qualifications and their experience. I suggest they:
- Join an industry association such as NZISM. They can give advice and potentially provide a mentor. Also they can attend local branch meetings to discuss options in their region.
- Contact H&S recruiters to get feedback

Hi Craig,

HASANZ is happy to be involved and support the initiative. I responded on LinkedIn.

HASANZ is a lot more than a Register of professionals. We are very focused on workforce development including:
- We are currently undertaking a stocktake of the H&S disciplines looking a current numbers, future demand, pay, pathways into the disciplines, what people like about the profession, etc. This will be published in July. Following that we will be focusing on fixing the gaps in education, attracting more people to the H&S field, etc.
- A three-year project to grow the number of Occupational Hygienists. We are aiming to establish a similar project for hazardous professionals
- A scholarship programme. We raised $250k last year and awarded 19 scholarships. We are looking to expand this year with applications open from July.

We do run a bi-annual Conference. We are in the process of setting up an Event Series in-conjunction with Duncan Cotterill

HASANZ is also:
- Co-designing a musculoskeletal disorder (MSD) programme in-conjunction with ACC
- We are looking at a new approach for H&S Reps in conjunction with WorkSafe, CTU and Business NZ
- Plus, how to target SMEs.

Thanks

Part of HASANZ's role is help get rid of the ''cowboys'' - though this will take a while. We are educating business on the need to select H&S people with appropriate skills, quals and experience. A lot of business don't know who to go to and end up buying glorified manuals. The HASANZ Register is part of this approach - people need to have both quals and experience. Plus demonstrate in competencies they select.
Also we have a big focus on H&S workforce development. We know that about half of the current H&S workforce is over 50 years old and half don't have quals in H&S (though they often have quals in other areas). If we compare H&S to other professionals such as engineering and accountancy we have a way to go
