Guides, checklists, acts and summaries of regulations always provide useful information for health and safety representatives (HSRs). Such resources are relevant for health and safety managers, to help them carry out their tasks and responsibilities easier.
The WorkSafe New Zealand organisation is a great source of various resources.
Legislation
One of the most important and fundamental pieces of legislature in New Zealand is the Health and Safety at Work Act 2015 (HSWA). HSWA is New Zealand’s workplace health and safety law.
