New Branch Manager 2020

We'd like to say a big congratulations to Mike Guerin who takes the helm as Hawke's Bay Branch Manager and is looking forward to leading his local H&S community:
"NZISM has given me so much insight since joining 3 years ago. It’s been great to have likeminded people to call and bounce ideas off or ask for help with areas of H&S I’m not familiar with. I have big shoes to fill but I’ll do my best to keep up the fantastic work Pani has been doing since the branch began."

BIO: Mike started his H&S journey working for the Water Corporation of Western Australia, where he worked in a group conducting Remote Operated Vehicle (ROV). A pivotal moment was having to prep his ROV crew to be sent to Pike River during the tragedy. Whilst there he became an OSH Rep and trained in Dogman; EWP; forklifts; working at heights; confined space entry; atmosphere monitoring; and asset condition assessment. Since returning to NZ, Mike has been the H&S Coordinator for Central Districts Pest Control, taking the company through ISO45001 and winning industry awards for their H&S systems. He has just completed his GDPP OHS (with Distinction!) and started his own consultancy company, GSI Safety.
