"Dynamic, enlightening training. That’s what we’ve always received from Kirsty Connell, training facilitator. Participants find her knowledge, presentation and approach to be a learning experience that makes a difference. Trainers of this high caliber are hard to find."

(Lindy MacLennan - Training and Development Manager - Bay of Plenty District Health Board)

HEALTH AND SAFETY LEGISLATION

THE HEALTH AND SAFETY IN EMPLOYMENT ACT 1992

Can you afford to ignore workplace stress?

Are you meeting your obligations as an employer under the new legislation?

Effective 5 May 2003, the amended Act states that stress may be either the cause or result of hazards in the workplace and requires employers to :

identify such hazards
manage those hazards
provide training or supervision so that work is done safely
monitor the health of employees to ensure that their work is not having a detrimental effect upon them
provide opportunities for employees to participate in all of the above

"Employers can be liable and face penalties for stress and fatigue."
Paul Jarvie - Manager, Occupational Health and Safety, Employers and Manufacturers Association
