Kevin Chambers talks with Seb James, Head of Risk Engineering & Consulting at Gallagher Insurance NZ, about how small-to-medium sized businesses can identify and manage their most critical risks. With health and safety reforms placing greater emphasis on “critical risks,” many organisations are asking: what actually counts?
Seb breaks it down in simple terms, focusing on the risks most likely to cause serious harm, and shares real-world examples, from forklifts and vehicles to lone workers and occupational health. If you’re a business owner or leader trying to cut through complexity, this episode offers practical steps to help you focus your time and effort where it matters most.
Seb 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. More information on the EMA’s health and safety training courses can be found here.
