About NZISM Canterbury

NZISM Canterbury runs four networks groups within its branch.

They are based in:

  1. Christchurch
  2. Rangiora
  3. Ashburton, and
  4. Timaru. 

Christchurch, Timaru and Rangiora hold meetings monthly and Ashburton every 3 months.

The Canterbury branch represents a multi-disciplinary group of OHS practitioners from a diverse range of backgrounds and industries. We welcome new members - both those new to OHS and seasoned practitioners.
