Establishing an effective, strong Health and Safety policy and system for your business is essential. It not only keeps your employees safe by mitigating potential risks but also protects your business if an unforeseen accident/incident happens.
Understanding your responsibilities as a PCBU (Person conducting a Business or Undertaking) is essential to running an effective health and safety management system. As a PCBU it is your primary duty of care to ensure your employees are looked after in the workplace and you are aware of the legal requirements as an employer.
The key piece of legislation for New Zealand’s workplace safety is the Health and Safety at Work Act 2015. The purpose of this legislation is to ensure the protection of the health, safety and welfare of all workers and other individuals who may enter a work site minimising all potential risks. Other significant areas this Act cover includes implementing effective training/induction programs, offering fair worker representation opportunities and providing a safe working environment.
Our team has the expertise and knowledge to guide you through the seemingly ever-changing legislation to ensure your company is operating in a safe way. By developing an effective health and safety management system for your business we aim to significantly reduce the risk of workplace incidents and deliver a more productive workforce.
