🚀 WE’RE GETTING EXCITED! 🚀
In just 𝟭𝟬 𝗱𝗮𝘆𝘀 we kick off the first of four workshops in our 𝗖𝗮𝗽𝗮𝗯𝗶𝗹𝗶𝘁𝘆 𝗔𝗱𝘃𝗮𝗻𝗰𝗲𝗺𝗲𝗻𝘁 𝗣𝗿𝗼𝗴𝗿𝗮𝗺𝗺𝗲(CAP) with Georgina Poole—and this is one you don’t want to miss.

If you’ve been wondering how to actually get value from your organisation’s H&S training budget, look no further. Safety CAP is a structured development pathway designed to build the practical skills, mindset, and capability required for modern safety practice - not theory for theory’s sake.

🌏 𝗔𝗯𝗼𝘂𝘁 𝗚𝗲𝗼𝗿𝗴𝗶𝗻𝗮 𝗣𝗼𝗼𝗹𝗲
Georgina is an internationally sought-after H&S leader, keynote speaker, author, and trainer. She has worked closely with and co‑authored research alongside Professor Sidney Dekker, and her work is strongly informed by the thinking of leading safety scientists such as Erik Hollnagel.

The fact that Georgina will be working in person with members over the next 8 months is exceptional. This is a rare opportunity to tap into her knowledge, energy, and outstanding ability to turn complex concepts into practical, real-world learning that sticks.

💡 𝗣𝗿𝗼𝗴𝗿𝗮𝗺𝗺𝗲 𝗱𝗲𝘁𝗮𝗶𝗹𝘀
These high‑value workshops are available in person in Auckland or via livestream, giving you flexibility without compromising impact.
$500 for all four workshops (NZISM members)

🧠 𝗪𝗵𝗮𝘁 𝗺𝗮𝗸𝗲𝘀 𝗖𝗔𝗣 𝘁𝗿𝘂𝗹𝘆 𝘀𝘁𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗼𝘂𝘁?

🚨𝗛𝗮𝗽𝗽𝗲𝗻𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗧𝗼𝗺𝗼𝗿𝗿𝗼𝘄!
Join the always-popular Chris Peace for Part 1 of this 2‑part webinar series exploring first aid and emergency planning in the workplace.

Under the Health and Safety at Work (General Risk and Workplace Management) Regulations, organisations must meet requirements for first aid (R13) and emergency plans (R14). While WorkSafe has provided guidance, New Zealand still has no published research on how communicating first aid and emergency planning impacts workplace injury rates.

This series will:
📌 Explore international research
📌 Engage you directly in applied research
📌 Spark discussion on how communication influences safety outcomes

👉 Register now and be part of the conversation.
