S P E A K E R
Richard Gibson, Risk Consultant
About this webinar:
Nearly five years since Whakaari White Island in New Zealand erupted, tragically leaving 22 dead, 25 seriously injured, and countless family, friends, and loved ones forever changed, the criminal trial for systematic safety failures has ended with five guilty parties and $10.21 million NZD ($9.4 million AUD) in reparations (although there is now an appeal underway).
Look behind the curtain at what WorkSafe’s Chief Executive called the most extensive investigation undertaken by the regulator in ecoPortal’s next thought leadership webinar.
Led by expert witness Richard Gibson, who was engaged by WorkSafe NZ in regard to Whakaari Management Ltd and the Officer charges, participants will explore questions including:
- How important is the specific context?
- When dealing with a natural hazard, who has control and influence?
- What is (and what is not) an acceptable risk?
- When working with others, what is adequate consultation and coordination?
- How should incident investigations and risk reviews change going forward?
Who will benefit from this webinar?
This webinar is for health and safety leaders and C-suite executives looking to learn the most urgent lessons from natural disasters, whilst gaining insights on the changes in the safety landscape that will result.
