Webinar: Critical Mistake in Safety Practice
Is critical risk management the real solution to preventing workplace harm?
Critical risk management has become a central feature of health and safety practice in New Zealand.
Mick Bates will examine the growth of the critical risk narrative and how it shapes the way workplace harm is understood and addressed.
The session will trace how this approach has developed, explores who it is designed to protect, and questions whether a focus on critical risks is delivering effective harm prevention—particularly for workers most vulnerable to injury.
Your presenter:
Mick Bates started his working life at 16 in a brewery, which probably means he peaked too soon. After working in various engineering, project and manufacturing roles. He was “volunteered" into a health and safety role by an old boss reluctant to engage with the UK CDM regulations. Mick has worked with complex organisations to understand how their risk management approaches have developed and what the next evolution of risk management looks like from the current state.
