New Zealand's health and safety framework is set for its most significant reform since the introduction of the Health and Safety at Work Act.

The proposed 2026 changes aim to reduce unnecessary compliance burdens while sharpening the focus on preventing serious workplace harm through better management of critical risks.

Join us for this practical webinar as we break down the key elements of the Health and Safety at Work Amendment Bill, explore the shift towards managing critical risks, and discuss how organisations can prepare for the evolving regulatory landscape.

In just 60 minutes:

  • Understand the Reforms: Get a clear overview of the proposed 2026 Health and Safety at Work reforms
  • Critical Risks: Learn how the shift towards managing critical risks could change the way your organisation approaches health and safety
  • Prepare Your Workplace: Explore common questions, challenges, and practical considerations for workplaces preparing for the new health and safety landscape

Bring your questions, hear from our health and safety specialists, and leave with a practical understanding of how the reforms could affect your business.

Please note that this is general information and not intended to replace legal advice under any circumstances.
