Wednesday 21st Oct, 2026 Health & Safety Education Session for Business

A practical 60-minute session for small and medium businesses who don’t have dedicated health and safety expertise in-house.

We’ll use the proposed changes to the Health and Safety at Work Act as a starting point for discussion, what’s changing, what it means for a typical business, and what good H&S management looks like in practice. You’ll receive a simple H&S checklist at the start, so as the discussion moves through key topics you can identify what you’ve already got covered and where the gaps might be.

This session runs under the Chatham House Rule, so you’re free to ask questions and share your own experience without it being attributed outside the room. It’s an education session, not a sales pitch, presenters won’t be promoting their own businesses or services.

Presenters:

Kevin Park – Managing Director, NZworksafe Ltd. Taupō-based, working in health and safety since 1997, supporting 200+ businesses with practical H&S systems and safety culture.

Karl Berendt – Managing Director, Incident Prevention Group. Taupō-based, 16 years across high-risk industries, currently President of the NZ Institute of Safety Management (NZISM).

Bring your lunch and join us for a practical, no-cost hour that could save your business a headache down the track.

Pricing:

Free for Chamber members.

Non-members: $15 entry. If you join the Chamber within one month of the event, we’ll credit your $15 back against your membership.
