What can New Zealand workplaces learn from the fatal shooting on the set of the film Rust?
Kevin Chambers talks with health and safety professional Brent Sutton about why serious incidents are often the result of system failures rather than individual mistakes.
Drawing on Human and Organisational Performance (HOP) principles, Brent explains why human error is inevitable, why organisations need to plan for failure, and how strong systems can ensure mistakes don’t lead to tragedy.
Brent is a facilitator 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. More information on the EMA’s health and safety training courses can be found here.
