Kia ora Shaun, I hope the new job is going well!

We are currently reviewing and updating the EEA Critical Risk Guide, work hasn’t quite started but we have a working group and an idea on what the plan is, which is

• Identify any changes to industry critical risks – through last year’s survey, working group input, and the HSW Act. (Amendment Bill)
• Identify controls, especially critical controls – from Legislation, Standards, WorkSafe Guidance, EEA Guides etc.
• Provide guidance on critical risk assessment tools (Energy wheel, Bow tie)
• Provide guidance on monitoring and verification of Controls
• Recommendations for Reporting
• Feed into ESI Safety Performance Indicators Report

As well as the industry working group, our first step is to workshop this at the Health and Safety Workshop in Christchurch in August.
