Masterclass Series 2022
Scottish by birth, pragmatic by nature, John Green is a compelling speaker and a master at transforming health and safety concepts into effective operational practice.
He is one of the forefathers of Safety Differently, and has an uncanny knack of crystallising what we thought we knew... but didn't quite know how to express or put into action.
We believe everyone deserves access to this Masterclass series - and we've made sure they have.
(includes NZISM membership until 31/3/23)

(Rescheduled)
This final Masterclass will use all previous session material to suggest a model that wraps Safety Differently and Psychological Safety into a single coherent approach.
Practical tools will be suggested that can be used to foster the approach and allows participants to develop options for their own organisations.
Q&A time is built into all John's Masterclasses - however additional time is put aside in this final session so that participants have the opportunity to ask questions relating to, or triggered by, any session in this Masterclass series.
