Advanced Safety NZ

I’ve been very quiet these past few days. The result of weeks of: - workplace visits, - inspections, - 1on1 interviews, - group facilitated talks, and - documentation deep dives… I’m now in the thick of the: - findings, - recommendations, - improvement action plans, and - executive summaries There is an art to all of this. Delivering meaningful information that can be acted upon immediately is my number one, two and three priority for my clients. It takes a lot of deep thinking but the reward at the end is knowing it’s making lasting change for all the right reasons.

𝗥𝗲𝗳𝗹𝗲𝗰𝘁𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗼𝗻 𝗮 𝗗𝗲𝘃𝗮𝘀𝘁𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗪𝗲𝗲𝗸 𝗳𝗼𝗿 𝗪𝗼𝗿𝗸𝗽𝗹𝗮𝗰𝗲 𝗛𝗲𝗮𝗹𝘁𝗵 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗦𝗮𝗳𝗲𝘁𝘆 𝗶𝗻 𝗡𝗲𝘄 𝗭𝗲𝗮𝗹𝗮𝗻𝗱 This past week has been a tough one for our health and safety community in New Zealand. Multiple fatalities have been reported; lives lost due to incidents at work. Behind each of these numbers are real people, families, and communities forever changed. One of these incidents hit very close to home as I made a call to a friend of mine, just to check in. He worked for one of the companies that experienced a workplace fatality, and I needed to know if he was okay. Luckily, he was but he was the first at the scene. But for someone else's family, the outcome was devastating. They lost a loved one, and that person is never coming home again. This let me think over the past few days as I had the privilege of spending time with my family. I supported by son at a rugby tournament in Christchurch, cheered for him on the sideline, and shared in his joy. On Sunday, we went for a short hike together. Just a simple walk, but one that meant the world to us. These are the moments we often take for granted. But as I reflect, I can't help but think that some families won't have these moments again. Some children will grow up without their parent there to cheer them on, without that guiding hand to lift them when the walk gets too long or to pick them up on your shoulders when their legs are tired. All because someone went to work and didn't come home. This is why workplace health and safety is so much more. It is about protecting people, safeguarding futures, and ensuring that everyone who leaves for work in the morning comes home to their loved ones at night. As we being a new week, my thoughts are with the families who are missing someone today. We ow it to them, to ourselves, and to those we love to do better. To those who have lost a loved one, my heart goes out to you. #HealthAndSafety #FamilyFirst #WorkplaceSafety #NeverForget

𝗜𝘁𝗮𝗹𝘆 𝗧𝗮𝗸𝗲𝘀 𝗮 𝗦𝘁𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗼𝗻 𝗪𝗼𝗿𝗸𝗽𝗹𝗮𝗰𝗲 𝗦𝗮𝗳𝗲𝘁𝘆 𝗔𝗺𝗶𝗱𝘀 𝗛𝗶𝗴𝗵 𝗗𝗲𝗮𝘁𝗵 𝗥𝗮𝘁𝗲𝘀 Italy's Senate has recently approved a bill to integrate workplace safety education into civic lessons in schools. This initiative comes amid a worrying rise in workplace fatalities-577 deaths in just the first seven months of 2024. The recent high deathroll has urgent the need for systemic change. The new legislation aims to build a culture of safety from the ground up-educating young people on labour rights, worker duties, and crucial protections. by doing this, Italy hopes to create citizens who are not only aware of their rights but also understand the critical importance of workplace Safety. Italy is also strengthening enforcement by recruiting 1,600 new labour inspections to help address safety concerns. By embedding safety into the education system, Italy is taking a proactive stance on prevention, not just response. It is about cultivating awareness, understanding rights, and promoting a safety -first mindset from a young age. This kind of initiative is a timely reminder for all nations that effective workplace safety isn't just the responsibility of businesses - it's about societal values. We need more emphasis on safety education, not just in training rooms but starting from schools. Let's learn from Italy's example. By building safety into our culture and preventing accidents before they happen. What do you think? Should countries push for more workplace education to start at schools? #WorkplaceSafety #PreventinIsBetterThanCure #GlobalSafety

G’day mate. The car tells me it’s 27degrees and the locals in Dubbo, NSW tell me it’s nothing 😅 Enjoying the chance to see the challenges faced by different teams spanning both NZ and Aus. Currently reviewing the day’s notes and compiling my next round of follow up questions and data requests. I love putting years of practice into action like this.
