EMA Health and Safety Webinar - Impacts of the Gibson v Maritime New Zealand Ruling for Officers and Directors

The High Court ruling this month dismissed the appeal from the former Port of Auckland chief executive, Tony Gibson. This sends a clear message to directors, business leaders, and any employers responsible for due diligence duties. However, with the Health and Safety at Work Amendment Bill signalled to come into action later this year, new challenges may arise from this High Court decision, which may affect directors. 

Join EMA Employment Relations and Safety Manager Paul Jarvie to unpack the outcome of this ruling in the context of shifting legislation. This informative webinar will cover areas including: 

• Potential impacts for senior leaders amid regulatory updates
• What the courts expect to be done under “exercising due diligence”
• Risks and consequences for small businesses
• What business leaders can learn from this case

This online session will also include time for Q&A with Paul. 

If you're a business owner, director, manager, or responsible for managing safety at a high level, this webinar will provide clarity on a complex topic, while giving you time to raise any concerns you may have.
