WORKSAFE NZ  (H&S) - Are you compliant?

We strongly encourage our fabricator members to be H&S compliant and take all practicable steps to ensure they meet their obligations to keep their employees safe at work.
  • In the event of a serious or potentially serious injury, WorkSafe NZ must be advised immediately
  • Being unaware of the need to notify WSNZ of any workplace incidents causing injury cannot be used as an excuse
  • Members must have a clear understanding of the requirements of the FTMA Code-of-Practice with respect to Health & Safety
  • Health & Safety responsibilities 
  • Serious Harm incidents fact sheet

Worksafe New Zealand is New Zealand’s workplace health and safety regulator. New Zealand has unacceptably high rates of workplace fatalities, serious harm injuries and work-related disease and illness.

We are working collaboratively with industry to achieve a 25 percent reduction by 2020 of the workplace death and injury toll. Work is also underway to establish occupational health reduction targets.

Our focus is to embed and promote good workplace health and safety practices. We are also the regulator for electricity and gas safety in the workplace and home.

WorkSafe NZ’s approximately 350 staff are located in 20 offices across New Zealand. We work closely with employers, employees and others to:
  •  Educate them about their workplace health and safety responsibilities
  •  Engage them in making changes that reduce the chances of harm
  •  Enforce workplace health and safety legislation
