You need to engage a registered Occupational Hygienist. They are in short demand in NZ suggest you contact the New Zealand Occupational Hygiene Society

I second Petra at Guardian Angel. There are alot of products on the market that are not fit for purpose and don’t add value. Petra will help you identify what you need

The Massey Graduate Diploma does both OSH I 251.271 and OSH II 251.272

Perhaps a push on modern regulatory practice might be more appropriate?

Hi Sandra there is a significant difference a between a manager and an advisor. An advisor works at an operational level and is usually early or mid career. A manager is more experienced, is strategic, a technical lead and a leader of people. You can view the difference between an OSH practitioner and OSH professional in the INSHPO Capability framework

For those who are interested the maritime sector has a complex legal environment which requires operators to meet requirements under both the Maritime Transport Act and HSWA in regards to crew. The NZ law changed a number of years ago following a ministerial enquiry to include foreign flagged vessels due to a wide range of labour, welfare and health and safety issues affecting both NZ crew working on NZ flagged vessels operating outside NZ waters and foreign chartered vessels contracting to NZ companies. MNZ are carrying out their role as a regulator.

Thanks Jon we are working on SiD projects in Govt I will contact Russell.

I also enjoyed Steph Dyhrberg and Andrew Barrett and the applied research by SiteSafe on suicide in construction sector.

It was also great to see most of the keynote speakers had HFE backgrounds and the recognition of human factors and ergonomics in general H&S practice.

I strongly recommend looking at other conferences in Australia and the HASANZ Conferences

On that note I would strongly recommend you engage a registered Occupational Hygienist to assist you with this work

We work with many NZ businesses and as Consultants I'm often asked to push different products which we don't for obvious reasons. H&S Software is a business enabler. There are many new businesses developing untested products in the current market and selling software as the "magic bullet" for H&S management. Beware of this when you are looking at options. My advice to you is do your homework, a thorough needs assessment for your organisation, consider 3-4 mature products and make sure you have robust internal business processes, software will not replace missing internal process.
