There are big changes in store for New Zealand’s workplace Health and Safety. Don’t get swamped, let PAT NZ take care of your appliance safety. Rest easy in the knowledge that your company has it sorted.
We had the Department of Labour, now we have the Ministry of Business, Innovation and Employment. Soon we will have the new stand alone authority Worksafe New Zealand.
It all seams hard to follow but the reasoning behind it is simple. New Zealand has a poor workplace safety record, people are hurt everyday at work. Businesses, government, managers and employees all need to take responsibility and REDUCE THE RISK.
Don’t forget about other authorities lurking in the background. Insurers have been known to find many reasons to not pay out on claims. If your factory burns down due to a faulty electrical appliance that hadn’t been tested? Would you want to test them?
PAT NZ believes in REASONABLE and PRACTICAL measures that are easy for all to follow, THAT MAKE WORKPLACES SAFER.
