We are currently consulting on a number of standards proposed to be incorporated into the Health and Safety at Work (Hazardous Substances) Regulations, to be made later this year.
MBIE released an Issues Paper on bullying and harassment (including sexual harassment) at work in New Zealand. We asked the public to tell us about how effective the systems are that prevent and respond to bullying and harassment at work.
In May 2021 changes were proposed to the regulations that sit under the Health and Safety at Work Act 2015.
The future of work is being shaped by 4 broad global megatrends: technology change, demographic change, globalisation and climate change. These global trends create both risks and opportunities for New Zealand.
We are seeking feedback on the draft regulations for work involving hazardous substances.
The Ministry of Business, Innovation and Employment (MBIE) is seeking feedback on a range of options to control the risks from engineered stone and other sources of exposure to respirable crystalline silica.
