Shane Strode-Penny, a retired inspector from WorkSafe NZ, is now enjoying retirement but remains busy with consulting and volunteering. He is known for sharing his insights and experiences on the NZHSP Facebook group.

Shane believes that inspectors should receive more recognition for their work and that the regulator should nominate inspectors for awards. He also highlights the importance of training inspectors with fact-based and
physical training, rather than relying solely on online courses. Shane suggests increasing the number of inspectors and improving support in the offices. He
emphasizes the need for the regulator to focus on education and enforcement.

The conversation covers various topics related to the challenges and issues within the WorkSafe regulator.

Some key themes include the lack of consultation
and communication with stakeholders, the need for practical and sensible regulations, the importance of change management, the value of support officers, the need for more case law and prosecutions, and the role of industry experience in the inspectorate. The conversation also touches on personal highlights and experiences, as well as the future of WorkSafe and other regulatory bodies in New Zealand.
