Auckland – Risk Standards workshops

Kristin Hoskin works for Advisian as a senior consultant in Safety and Risk and is a RiskNZ Board Member.  She first worked in risk management in the mid-1990s in the food sector, primarily focusing on food safety based risks. Since then she has worked in health and safety, risk policy, emergency management, natural hazards, crisis management, high hazard contingency response planning, business continuity and risk communications. Her professional goal in life is to see risk information used productively to enable improvements and frame opportunities, rather than simply as a way to avoid disaster. While she has mostly worked in New Zealand she has also spent several years working in the middle east. Kristin works locally and internationally, based out of Christchurch.

Kristin is the Convenor of the NZ Mirror Committee to ISO TC 262 Risk Management and is a member of the Australian New Zealand Risk Management Standards Committee OB-007. She is also a member of the Safety Charter Professional Services Working Group.
