This week, OCS was formally recognised as one of the 54 remaining founding members of the Business Leaders\u2019 Health and Safety Forum, at its 15th\u00a0anniversary event at Parliament in Wellington.<\/p>\n

OCS Australia & New\u00a0Zealand Managing Director, Gareth Marriott, was on stage to receive the Certificate of Recognition on behalf of OCS from Hon Brooke van Velden, Minister for Workplace Relations and Safety.<\/p>\n

\u201cBeing recognised as a founding member of the Business Leaders\u2019 Health and Safety Forum is a proud moment for OCS. Strong, visible leadership is essential to creating safer, healthier workplaces and this recognition is a testament to the dedication of our colleagues – past and present – who champion health and safety in everything we do,\u201d says Gareth.<\/p>\n

The Forum is an organisation supporting CEOs and senior leaders to develop their health and safety leadership, with the aim to improve health, safety and wellbeing outcomes of New Zealand.<\/p>\n

\u201cSince 2010, we have been proud to stand alongside like-minded businesses and their CEOs \u2013 sharing experiences, exchanging insights, and leveraging our combined skills and influence to create safer and healthier workplaces across New Zealand,\u201d says Forum Chief Executive Francois Barton.<\/p>\n

Our longstanding involvement with the Forum reflects a shared belief among generations of leaders at OCS that commitments to thriving people and workplaces come from the top. They have invested time, focus and care to make sure health and safety is at the forefront of how they lead.<\/p>\n

Thank you to everyone \u2013 past and present \u2013 who has contributed to this journey. Your efforts continue to make a real difference in how we work and how we care for each other.<\/p>\n <\/section>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
