Please join us for this exclusive in-person workshop, hosted by Lane Neave and Rubix Safe, that is specifically designed for directors, CEOs, general managers, and senior health & safety managers.
The session will provide practical insights into recent Health & Safety developments and what they mean for your governance responsibilities and risk exposure.
Workshop Focus
We will unpack the recent court decision in WorkSafe v Gibson, specifically considering officers’ liabilities in terms of:
- Ensuring the PCBU has available for use, and uses, clearly documented, effectively implemented, and appropriate safety measures.
- Ensuring the PCBU has available for use, and used, clearly documented, effectively implemented, and appropriate processes for ensuring coordination between employees.
- Verifying the provision and use of these resources and processes.
We will then explore the New Zealand Government’s proposed changes to officers’ liability under the Health and Safety at Work Act 2015, which propose to clarify the distinction between governance and management health and safety responsibilities, notably:
- Officers (e.g. directors and CEOs): will be responsible for strategic oversight and governance.
- Managers and executives: will be responsible for day-to-day health and safety risk management.
This is a valuable opportunity to engage with legal and safety experts, ask questions, and prepare your organisation for the evolving regulatory landscape.
- Please RSVP by Thursday 21 August to secure your place.
- Doors open at 4.30pm to allow time for settling in, mingling, and enjoying drinks and canapés before the seminar starts at 5pm.
