This week is Crown&#8217;s &#8216;Health &amp; Safety at Work Week&#8217;, a time when we place a special focus on engaging staff to be proactive around their work environment to recognise and prevent hazards and learn how to respond to crises appropriately.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"gb-text\">Recently we had the opportunity to catch-up with Gerard Robbins our Site Health &amp; Safety Manager &#8230;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<img decoding=\"async\" class=\"gb-media\" alt=\"Gerard Robbins | Site H&#038;S Manager | Crown Worldwide\" src=\"https:\/\/www.crownrelo.co.nz\/workspace\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/health-safety-at-work-week-2021__Gerard-Robbins-1024x536-5.jpg\" \/>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"gb-text\">Site Health &amp; Safety Manager Gerard Robbins<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"gb-text\"><strong>Q: Tell us about your role<\/strong><br \/>A: My role covers a large scope of Health &amp; Safety from managing the H&amp;S policies and procedures to identifying and conducting risk assessments. I travel quite a bit every week to our operational sites around the country to support the branch managers and field staff in Health &amp; Safety matters. Tristan Cavanagh, the Operations Training Manager and I work very closely together to map out training materials for the Ops teams emphasising on H&amp;S issues while on the job.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"gb-text\"><strong>Q: Tell us about your working day<\/strong><br \/>A: My day usually starts with checking any incidents that are reported, looking at what lead to the incident occurring and how can it be prevented from happening again. Some days, I attend and provide local H&amp;S Committee and Toolbox meetings to stay acquainted with policy changes or updates. While onsite, I complete Job Safety Observations &#8211; what&#8217;s working well, what&#8217;s not working so well, what could be improved, and then respond to any Health and Safety feedback from ops staff.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"gb-text\"><strong>Q: Why is workplace safety so important?<\/strong><br \/>A: <em>&#8216;So we can get home safely&#8217;<\/em>. If things are done safely at work and we watch out for one another, we can all go home and do what we enjoy. If we&#8217;re hurt, it not only impacts us &#8211; it also affects those around us. This is our No.1 goal for having a comprehensive Health &amp; Safety at Work &#8216;checks &amp; balances&#8217; in place.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"gb-text\"><strong>Q: How can we all play a part in ensuring our own well-being, health &amp; safety in the workplace no matter where we operate?<\/strong><br \/>A: Keep physically and mentally fit &#8211; eat healthy foods, keep hydrated, have a good night&#8217;s sleep, do regular exercises, keep a good work \/ life balance and remember to have time for yourself.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"gb-text\"><strong>Q: Your top advice for all Crown staff regarding workplace health &amp; safety&#8230;<\/strong><br \/>A: Plan your task before starting &#8211; look for any potential risks that could cause harm, put controls in place to reduce the likelihood of an incident occurring.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"gb-text\">Thank you for your time Gerard and sharing insight to Health &amp; Safety in the workplace.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"gb-text\"><strong>Kia Kaha!<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"gb-text\"><em>Crown Worldwide NZ &#8211; Making it simpler to live, work and do business anywhere in the world.
