About this Webinar

Do you know which of your risks are critical? And could you say, today, whether every critical control is in place and working effectively at every site?

Managing the risks most likely to cause serious harm is a core duty for every PCBU in New Zealand and Australia. No matter which side of the Tasman you are on, it's a good moment to look at how your organisation identifies, controls, and checks the risks that matter most.

In this session, we’ll show how to connect critical risk thinking into every part of your safety programme, and how ecoPortal can support each step.

On the Menu

Critical risk runs through your register, verifications, incident investigations and meetings. This session looks at how to keep those pieces connected, so you can say with confidence that your critical controls are performing across every location. Here’s what’s on the menu:

Appetiser: a quick look at what’s changing in New Zealand from 1 April 2027, and the duty to manage critical risk that already applies in NZ and Australia.
The main course: what makes a control critical, how to check it in a way that would catch a real failure, and how to keep those checks consistent across every site, so gaps are easy to spot.
Dessert: a live walkthrough of one critical risk from start to finish in ecoPortal, connecting your register, verifications, incident investigations and meetings, including how to close the loop when an incident shows a control has failed.
The cherry on top: different approaches to critical control verification, simple ways to give frontline workers the few things they need to check before they start work, plus time for your questions.
