Building High Performing Health and Safety Committees

Join the Conversation – Health and Safety Series: Part 2/4

Welcome to the second event in our health and safety chapter – part of our Join the Conversation series, in partnership with ACC. This chapter brings together those passionate about creating safer workplaces. Whether you’re a seasoned health and safety professional or an owner-operator looking to stay on top of the latest trends, this is your chance to connect, learn, and lead.

Health and safety committees at work often face challenges to drive change in an organisation. We want you walking out the door with tools and insights to create a more engaged and effective team. Our speaker, Damon Jacobsen, Human Resources and Safety Management Consultant at Business Central, will provide real-world advice from his years of working with businesses across Aotearoa New Zealand. You’ll learn what it takes to make your health and safety committee not just compliant, but an active force in improving workplace safety.

Throughout the session, there will be opportunities for you to engage with Damon directly, ask questions, and gain practical insights that you can apply to your own committee.

Building an effective health and safety committee takes more than ticking boxes — it’s about fostering a proactive safety culture. Whether you’re building a new committee or looking to enhance your current one, this event will give you the chance to explore best practice and hear fresh perspectives in an interactive environment. Bring your questions and be ready to engage in a conversation designed to drive real change.
