About Us
Founded in 2014 the New Zealand Society for Engineering Safety (NZSES) is a Technical Group of Engineering New Zealand.
In 2025 we changed our name from the New Zealand Society for Safety Engineering to more accurately convey our purpose and appeal to a wider audience whose professional activities influence health and safety outcomes.
That the health and safety of people in current and future generations is important​​
That engineering design and technology should be used to solve problems and drive improvements in health and safety outcomes​
​Health and Safety is of equal importance to all other engineering considerations (such as cost, schedule, constructability and environmental impact).
​That as designers, project managers and reviewers, engineers are in a pivotal position to influence H&S outcomes
