Practical leadership for safer workplaces
This full day Health and Safety Leadership course is designed for managers and supervisors who have day to day responsibility for people, work, and workplace risk.
Aligned with the Health and Safety at Work Act 2015 and WorkSafe New Zealand expectations, the course focuses on practical leadership behaviours, legal responsibilities, and effective risk management.
Participants will build confidence in responding to incidents, engaging workers, managing contractors, and ensuring health and safety systems are applied in practice — not just on paper.
The session is interactive, discussion based, and grounded in real workplace scenarios relevant to New Zealand operations.
