Take part in our FREE Energy Based Safety Workshops in November. Limited Spaces, Register Now!

What is Energy Based Safety?
  • Energy Wheel
  • Low Energy v High Energy Hazards
  • High Energy Control Assessments

Register for the workshops before spaces run out!

Are you curious about Energy Based Safety? If you can't identify the hazard, then you don't know how exposed you are or how to control it.

We launched our Energy Based Hazard Recognition program earlier this year and there has been huge interest in the resources we created as well as invitations to present the Energy program tool to a range of companies across the construction health and safety sector.

Chris Alderson (CEO, CHASNZ) and Jon Harper-Slade (GM Health and Safety Innovation, CHASNZ) are leading 3 x in-person FREE workshops in Auckland, Wellington and Christchurch in November.

Learn about Energy Based Safety to help improve safety performance

Ten different categories of energy appear on the energy wheel. The hazards people work in the presence of fit within these energy categories. The wheel helps people find the hazards, which then allows us to focus on the 'high' energy hazards, ensuring as far as we can that direct controls are present before people start work.

A few topics we wil be covering:

  • Examples of what we see and what we miss
  • Energy Wheel Tool - testing and scientific validation
  • Low energy and high energy hazards
  • Why some hazards are easy to identify and while others are often overlooked
  • High-Energy control assessment (HECA)
  • Measuring and monitoring
  • Direct and alternative controls

A big thank you and credit goes to our good friend Dr Matt Hallowell

who led the research and wrote the paper that this presentation is based on. Dr Hallowell heads up the Construction Safety Research Association based out of the University of Colorado in the USA and continues to ensure good, practical research is done to improve the safety of the work we do:
