In June 1972, in the UK, the Robens Committee reported on Safety and Health at Work. The report set the scene for the UK Health and Safety at Work Act 1974 and, from there, the NZ Health and Safety at Work Act 2015.

Join lecturer, Chris Peace, who argues that we need to understand the origins of the UK Act if we are to understand two key concepts in our legislation here in Aotearoa:

• duty of care, and
• “reasonably practicable”.

Bio:

Chris Peace started his OSH career in the UK where he worked in a regulatory role, enforcing health and safety legislation. When he immigrated to New Zealand he moved into risk management and worked in various roles before joining the Natural Gas Corporation as Corporate Risk Manager and ultimately moving on to establish Risk Management Ltd, an evidence-based risk management consultancy.

More recently, Chris has been sharing his wealth of information through teaching. He has lectured at Massey University (Auckland) and is currently at Victoria University (Wellington), teaching papers on management and assessment of risk in the Master's programme.
