Is health and safety really a cost to the business, or can it be a driver of productivity and performance? In this episode of The Health and Safety Hub, the EMA’s Kevin Chambers is joined by Alexander Topp, Health and Safety Manager at Briscoe Group, to unpack how smart safety decisions can deliver tangible operational and financial benefits.
They explore real-world retail risks, from distribution centres to shop floors, and discuss how Briscoe Group is investing in systems, design and innovative training – including virtual reality – to reduce injuries and improve outcomes.
Alexander is a graduate of the EMA’s NZ Diploma in Workplace Health and Safety Management (Level 6), the country’s only face‑to‑face NZQA Level 6 programme for health and safety professionals. In recognition of his exceptional commitment to the Diploma programme, he was awarded the prestigious Patrick Seaman Award for Excellence in Health and Safety.
