In episode 3 of the Health & Safety Unplugged Podcast Matt is joined by DeAnne Brabant, Special Counsel, Independent Investigator, Mediator, Litigation: Civil, Employment, RMA law, Health & Safety Champion and Associate Teaching Fellow at Massey University. During this 90minute interview we cover - Importance of Board Selection and Education: The podcast delves into the critical role board members play in health and safety compliance. The importance of selecting board members who are aligned with the company's health and safety vision is emphasized, as well as educating them on the actual operational conditions. Overlapping Duties & Due Diligence: Discussion centers around the complexities of overlapping duties under health and safety regulations. Best practices include thorough consultation, coordination, and cooperation between entities to manage risks effectively. Case Studies: White Island & Legal Scenarios: The podcast touches on topical court cases such as the Whakaari/White Island eruption, highlighting the importance of understanding one’s duties under the law and seeking legal advice for compliance. Paperwork vs. Practical Safety: While documentation like Job Safety Analysis (JSA) is important, the discussion suggests that a company's safety culture isn't just about paperwork. The 'human factor' and 'state of mind' are equally crucial for ensuring compliance and safety. Emergency Planning & Root Cause Analysis: Lessons learned from legal cases emphasize the need for robust emergency planning and thorough root cause analysis. The importance of taking an analytical approach to incidents, rather than a reactive one, is underscored. ------------------------------------- Background: After a brief hiatus, your favorite podcast 'Health and Safety Unplugged' is back on the airwaves!
