Critical Risk Management Training
IMPAC's Critical Risk Management Training helps organisations build the skills and confidence to manage critical risks effectively and meet their new legislative obligations.
In 2027 New Zealand's health and safety legislation changes. Organisations will need to place greater focus on the hazards that could lead to serious injury, illness, or loss of life. IMPAC's Critical Risk Management Training helps organisations build the skills and confidence to manage critical risks effectively.
IMPAC Training
Category overview
With the Health and Safety at Work Amendment Act 2026 coming into effect on 1 April 2027, WorkSafe has made it clear that organisations need to identify their critical risks, implement effective critical controls, and demonstrate those controls are working.
IMPAC's Critical Risk training suite helps organisations navigate these changes by building capability at every level - from governance and leadership through to operational implementation and frontline verification - providing a clear pathway to understanding and compliance of your obligations.
