From Nine To Noon, 9:27 am on 26 July 2018

 

What difference will the country's first national register of health & safety professionals make in keeping our work lives safer ? And the work that still needs to be done.

On 27th July the voluntary online register of workplace health and safety professionals, will go live. It was one of the recommendations of the Taskforce on Workplace Health and Safety set up in response to the Pike River mining tragedy.

The Health and Safety Association of New Zealand (HASANZ) is an umbrella organisation representing workplace health and safety professions in New Zealand.

Its Chair Mike O'Brien is also on the Steering Group of the NZ Business Leaders' Health and Safety Forum
