Workplace Health & Safety
We have been advised with well-placed sources that Worksafe NZ has planned a compliance blitz on NZ owned businesses in December and January.
WorkSafe is not being lenient on this and has been imposing some significant penalties for not being compliant. With the H & S law that has now been in place for 18 months, all business owners must be able to demonstrate upon request that they have a documented H & S plan that complies with the HSWA 2015 legislation in operation in their workplace.
Worksafe will be asking for an electronic version of the businesses systems and procedures to be supplied within 21 days.
This action appears to be a reaction by the new coalition government to stem the flow of the steady increase in workplace accidents and ACC claims over the past 12 months
What can you do, give us a call, we can mobilise to address this in your business quickly and cost-effectively.
