Men’s Health Week aims to help you get right on top of your biggest and most important asset – your health. The sole purpose at MHW is to get guys to think a little more and know a little more about their health. Take the short Men's Health Survey, answer every question then press 'get my score'.
We want to encourage men to start with the small steps that can enable them to turn their health issues around. Little steps can – and will – make big differences. We just have to start. Each and every year, millions of men around the world die as a result of diseases that are, for the most part, entirely preventable. Eight guys in New Zealand die from one every day, try one of these useful quizzes:

Learn more about the Construction Sector Accord.
Everybody knows a tradie with a sore back, injured shoulder, or crook knees. Many accept that working through a sprain or strain comes with the territory, yet it shouldn't. We need to work smarter, not harder! CHASNZ has used data powered by ACC to create the Work Should Not Hurt Programme, which is being implemented across the New Zealand construction sector to ensure tradespeople can enjoy long, pain-free careers and retire when they need to - not prematurely due to a work related injury.
If you want to learn more in person, book a space at the upcoming Wellington meet up:

Jason was employed as an operator/trainer at Tiwai Point smelter for 15 years until he had to stop work due to nerve damage to his fingers as a result of constant exposure to vibration from hand tools. There was a lack of realistically priced systems for adequately measuring and preventing the problem, so he decided to investigate developing a solution. The result is the Vibration Action system. Vibration Action is designed for daily monitoring with real-time alerts and reports.
Via Zoom on 7th April, 12pm, Jason will talk about:
Information from WorkSafe:
The construction sector alone contributed $17 billion to the country’s GDP in 2020 and employs more than 200,000 New Zealanders, but there are significant opportunities in the sector that go beyond constructing new works. These opportunities are also known as broader outcomes – the additional benefits that can be achieved by the way a service, project or goods are produced or delivered. These outcomes can be social, environmental, cultural or economic benefits that deliver long-term public value for New Zealand.
Embedding broader outcomes into construction projects will help create a higher performing industry, which is why Government agencies and construction companies across the country are already making these outcomes a key part of their projects. To help the sector on this journey, the Construction Sector Accord has published new guidance to support government buyers and industry suppliers in applying broader outcomes in construction procurement.
Join this free webinar to learn more about why broader outcomes are important, how to use the Accord’s guidelines and how to implement these outcomes into construction projects. Listen to experts from Government and industry as they share examples of how they’ve used broader outcomes in their projects and some of the lessons learnt in the process.

Vaccine Pass use in workplaces and business settings, and employment matters under the new COVID-19 Protection Framework
Friday 19 November 2021
12:00 – 1:00 pm
The COVID-19 Protection Framework will bring us a world where we are freer to move and live with less disruption. It will offer the stability businesses need to plan for the future.
Today Government confirmed that subject to confirmation by Cabinet, New Zealand will move into the framework soon after 29th November. Auckland and those parts of the country with lower vaccination rates will move into the new system at Red. The rest of the country will move to Orange.
Under the new framework, businesses may be required to check customers’ My Vaccine Pass with the NZ Pass Verifier app, available later this month. This will depend on your sector or the choices you have made about how you will operate under the new framework.
If you’re a business manager or leader, or in employment relations, corporate affairs or health and safety related role, this webinar is for you. Join representatives from the Ministry of Health, MBIE, and DPMC to learn about the Vaccine Pass and verification programme, plus matters related to vaccination and employment relations under the COVID-19 Protection Framework.

Tōtika was designed to streamline the health and safety pre-qualification process for our construction sector. Prior to its development there was no common standard and suppliers had to pre-qualify through various different schemes – creating inefficiency in the supply chain.
The new system aims to simplify the process and create one standard for all health and safety pre-qualification across the construction sector – where suppliers only have to complete the process once for all buyers of their services. Tōtika was developed by Construction Health and Safety New Zealand (CHASNZ) working with representatives from across the industry, including the Construction Sector Accord.
The Accord is partnering with CHASNZ for this free webinar to discuss the new system and its impact on the construction sector. Speakers will discuss a variety of key issues, including why Tōtika was needed, how it was developed, what the benefits are for the construction sector and practical advice for clients, suppliers and contractors using the new scheme.

Preventing Tarmageddon - what will the industry’s response be? - NZ road toll in death and serious injury is increasing
- Our roading infrastructure is creaking under the weight of increasing traffic loads with the system bulging at the seams
- Maintenance activities are competing with customer and stakeholder organisation expectations on road network availability
- Actual life vs design life for pavement and surfacings is reducing
- Marginal materials are being exposed in service as inferior to premium materials
All in an operating environment with a static maintenance budget and a reduction in capital investment with the change of funding into other transport classes.

NZISM is proud to feature Dr Todd Conklin, Ph.D, an internationally recognised expert in Organisational Culture and Behaviour and Human Performance. Dr Conklin works with organisations that perform high-risk, high-consequence activities in ensuring that the interface between the organisation’s work control systems and the organisation’s workers are crafted in such a way as to create system influences and expected performances and to prevent unexpected events. This is an opportunity to hear one of the most engaging and entertaining H&S speakers of our time. Dr Conklin presents how technology has added new dimensions to how we as human beings react to our surroundings and how the new view approach to safety management can make an improved difference. When an accident happens in a company, it is considered a “failure.” Provisions are made to look in hindsight at causes for the failure, usually finding out who is to blame. In the new Safety II view, “failure” is redefined. Rather than looking at the accident in hindsight, workers and management process the situation with the idea that accidents will happen because work is performed by humans…and we are not perfect. Therefore, how can we minimize the consequences, save lives and save money in the process.
