The earlier you recognise the signs of stress, the better you’ll be able to manage them.

A general rule of thumb is that a person is under unhealthy stress when their daily functioning and relationships are being impacted.

So, if you're having trouble eating or sleeping, feeling like you're not coping with the small stuff anymore or if your thinking is becoming more negative and intrusive, it could be a sign that it’s time to put in place your own personal wellbeing plan (just like you’d review your stock plan).

I’ve just rediscovered the energy wheel, a different way to effectively engage teams to manage hazards!!! The risk matrix I have used for years might just be taking a backseat to this method. This vidow by Cassidy Construction sums it up in just a few minutes!! Take a look & share with your team

Our Energy Wheel is a visual tool we use to identify the ten different energy sources that may be present on our Cassidy Construction sites. When energy sour...

Coordination, proper resourcing & using strategies that work overseas to save lives is what's needed in New Zealand now. Not the H&S reforms proposed recently by the minister. This statement summarises what the NZISM Chair, Mike Cosman said in the link shared below. Please, make yourself a cuppa and take 10 minutes to listen to more of what Mike Cosman had to say. https://www.nzism.org/news/04-04-2025/

NZISM is our national health and safety professionals' association whose members live and breathe practical health and safety, every day. When you need to find sensible, practical, advice that works to make work healthy and safe please check out this website and the professionals who make up this membership. Of course, I am a member of NZISM so you can call me to help you sort the H&S fact from fiction.

🌧 Looks like it’s going to be a wet couple of days in the upper South Island 🌧

The map below from MetService New Zealand outlines the forecast for effected areas, and the likelihood of heavy and extreme rainfall for the next few days.

The worst of the rain is expected to hit the top of the South Island from today, moving up the country and hitting northern areas from later today and into Friday and Saturday.

As always, stay safe out there folks. Put safety first and act quickly if water is rising. 💚

Advice for reducing risk during heavy rainfall is available on our website - https://www.fmg.co.nz/advice/disaster-information/storm-and-flood

If you need to make a claim, you can get it started online on FMG Connect at fmg.co.nz/fmg-connect, or give us a call on 0800 366 466.

Really sad that Auriette is leaving Adaptive Health & Safety. She has been a great source of support and comradeship for me in my journey as a business owner. Auriette joined me first as a contractor with her own business and then in 2021 joined me as an employee. Auriette provided the depth and breadth of experience in both employment and health & safety to support our clients over the last few years. Unfortunately the economic climate has force me to make a tough decision to go back to being a sole operator. Auriette is an extremely capable lady with an amazing rapport with the Adaptive Clients she interacted with and I will miss working with her on a daily basis. We wish Auriette all the best with her future career.
