The Problem That Sparked Safety Connect
Let’s be honest - many health and safety practitioners in New Zealand are doing the mahi alone. Whether you're the sole advisor on site or managing risk across multiple projects, the role can be isolating.
Over the past few years, we’ve heard the same themes from our community:
“I’ve got nowhere to turn for advice.”
“I feel like I’m guessing half the time.”
“I need support that actually helps me grow.”
While the NZHSP Facebook and LinkedIn groups provide a great starting point, they weren’t built to go deep. Practitioners told us they needed more than a feed. They needed structure, resources, and genuine connection.

Why We Built Safety Connect for NZ Health & Safety Practitioners
Safety Connect was designed to meet a very real need: a professional, structured space just for New Zealand’s health and safety practitioners.
It’s not just a forum.
It’s not just a CPD tracker.
It’s a community of practice.
Here’s what makes it different:
Monthly group calls where you can share challenges and wins
Expert webinars with real-world application
Downloadable resource packs tailored to what you’re facing on the ground
A distraction-free environment, built off social media, with real conversations that move your practice forward
What Safety Connect Offers Health & Safety Practitioners
Inside Safety Connect, practitioners will find:
An engaged online platform hosted away from traditional social channels
A searchable library of tools, discussions, and learning threads
A growing network of like-minded professionals committed to best practice
Exclusive early access to new resources, templates, and events
And the best part? You don’t need to carve out hours every week to benefit. Even just checking in once a fortnight can spark ideas, solve problems, or help you feel more supported.
Who Safety Connect is Built For
Safety Connect is designed for:
In-house advisors supporting single or multiple sites
Independent consultants delivering services across regions
New and experienced practitioners looking for practical learning and peer support
Anyone serious about improving health and safety outcomes—not just ticking boxes

Why We Built Safety Connect to Launch in 2025
We’ve been planning this for a while - but 2025 felt like the right time to launch. With the industry shifting, new WorkSafe guidance in play, and more pressure on practitioners to deliver results, the need for support has never been clearer.
Almost 4000 practitioners are already part of our wider NZHSP network. Now, with Safety Connect, there’s a dedicated professional space to go deeper.
