Zenergy Leaders Forum – “Chain of Responsibility”

“Chain of Responsibility”

On the 17th March, Zenergy and the Safety Institute of Australia were proud to host over 120 industry professionals at our WHS Leaders Forum on “Chain of Responsibility” which represented a critical topic for those working in the transport, mining, construction and manufacturing sector. Our WHS Leaders forums are a natural component to our broader goal of supporting the WHS industry to highlight and promote leading company performance. Our determination to share this knowledge across industry is what drives us to invest heavily in initiatives like this one.

Our aim was to bring together industry leaders and experts in the area of “Chain of Responsibility” to raise awareness on the direction of the legislation and to understand our obligations under the current format.

Panel Members & Presentation Notes

As with all of our events we focus an incredible amount of energy in identifying the best speakers and clients that are leading industry across each topic. Zenergy would like to thank all our speakers for their time and information shared – we firmly believe that Safety performance should not be a competitive point of difference across companies and as such – the speakers notes can be found below by clicking on the links below.

Our first speaker Paul Endycott, for example, had looked at this issue from the regulator’s perspective. For operators, this insight helped them see how inspectors approach site visits, giving them an inside perspective on how they will evaluate site risks.

The second speaker, Sean Minto, took quite a different approach, with the focus squarely on operators and clients. The purpose of Sean’s portion of the day was to provide a practical introduction to the CoR laws and the steps operators can take to stay compliant.

Finally, John Makris looked at the legal issues that have already arisen around these CoR laws, also looked at the case law surrounding the Chain of Responsibility as it stands in Australia and how this can be used to meet a company’s compliance needs. This approach, grounded in early cases that have tested these laws, certainly was valuable information for attendees to learn from.
