WorkSafe is improving its approach to developing, maintaining, and sharing guidance to make sure businesses have the information they need to manage their biggest health and safety risks.
We publish a range of information and resources to help businesses and workers to understand how to meet their responsibilities to ensure work is healthy and safe.
We are focusing our efforts where we can make the biggest difference:
- making it easier to understand your responsibilities for health and safety under the law
- explaining how you can comply with specific requirements for regulated work
- what you can do to manage the key health and safety risks and high-risk work activities that contribute to the most serious harm and inequities.
We're tidying up our website and removing outdated information that has been replaced by newer guidance, is included in other guidance, or is no longer needed.
The decision to remove specific guidance products is based on our criteria for developing and maintaining guidance, and also considers our website statistics to see how often guidance is accessed and stakeholder feedback.
We will also be making changes to our website design over the coming months to make it easier for you to find the health and safety information you need, focusing on the main concepts of health and safety law in New Zealand and our priority sectors of agriculture, construction, forestry, and manufacturing.
