Health & Safety Resources
Health & Safety Reform – Sport NZ
Sport NZ has new information for sports volunteers about activities covered by the new regulations (see below).
The Government is looking to change New Zealand’s health and safety culture. A new Health and Safety at Work Act will come into force in 2015 (currently scheduled for 1 April). The aim is to substantially reduce sport-related harm in New Zealand.
The imminent Health and Safety at Work Act will have consequences for all forms of organisation. Sports Organisations should acquire an early understanding of the implications for them. The expectation is that sports will be proactive in ensuring their obligations are met and these obligations cannot be delegated away. Although not quite in its final form much is already known about the shape of the Bill. An early sector advisory has just been released.
