Our safety forums are Northpower’s way of engaging our people in safety and ensuring everyone can have input and ownership of their own health, safety and wellbeing.

We have local safety forums with membership from people at all levels of our geographic locations and have major representation from our people in the frontline working in the field.

Participants are encouraged to raise issues and problem solve at a local level where possible.

This model empowers our people doing the mahi (work) to lead the way on safety.

Any issues unable to be resolved are escalated to our National Safety Forum, where local Chairs from across the business and our leadership meet three times per year to discuss issues, consult, problem solve and work on resolutions.

Our safety forums represent a diverse range of people in different roles right across our business and gives all individuals a voice to have their say and participate in safety leadership at Northpower.
