Risk management consultancy and training services
Part 2 In part one of this series I discussed the crazy stuff in the Model Code of Practice for Managing the risk of falls from heights. As it is coming up to Christmas, as a special gift, in this blog I will look at two crazy things in the Safety Codes of Practice, both of which come from the
Read MoreThe give-aways just keep coming with Paladin Risk Management. In September I gave you the risk register. It’s great for managing risks and I encourage you to download that tool if you haven’t already. Keeping to my promises, as per my risk register blog here’s my Control Summary and Assessment Pro forma that I use to provide an overview of
Read MoreI have, in previous blogs, talked about some of my views on the way that workplace health and safety is being managed within Australia. This is not a criticism of safety professionals who are diligently trying to prevent workplace accidents from occurring. My biggest issue is with the legislation, and in particular the accompanying Codes of Practice for managing different
Read MorePaladin is now an RTO After many years of working through an Auspice agreement with McMillan Staff Development, Paladin Risk Management Services is now a Registered Training Organisation (RTO) in its own right.

This stirred up some in the risk management industry who firmly believe that
Read MoreTime and again I get asked about my template for a risk register. Most people know that my approach is somewhat different to those that have traditionally been used. Don’t get me wrong – I am not talking about a register that is completely different to those that are commonly used, however, there are a few aspects about my register

Read MorePaladin Risk Management Services is pleased to announce that it is now a Platinum sponsor of RiskNZ. RiskNZ is the leading sector and professional body in New Zealand bringing together those people and organisations managing risk. It embraces the vision that New Zealand prospers because risk is well managed. Paladin Risk Management will now be offering its full suite of
Read MoreLack of qualified staff (or iterations thereof) would have to be one of the risks that I see most often in risk registers. I have even had robust discussions with Executives who insist that an inability to attract and retain staff is one of their biggest risks. No, it isn’t. My questions are always the same: Which staff?
