Health & Safety At Work Act
Safety first: managing a vehicle fleet in New Zealand and keeping your drivers safe and compliant with WH&S requirements
The Health and Safety at Work Act 2015 (HSWA) impacts fleet operators of every size. It’s designed to reduce workplace deaths and serious injuries by 25 per cent by 2020. When passed, the Act became the most significant reform of workplace health and safety in New Zealand in 20 years.
What does this mean for you?
Whether you manage a small fleet, public transport organisation, freight company or large fleet, the HSWA will have implications for your business.
Driving is the most hazardous activity New Zealanders undertake during their work day so, as a fleet manager, your employees and contractors are doing one of the riskiest things a New Zealander can do at work.
This document outlines how leading-edge technology and business processes can manage and minimise the risk of driving-related incidents to your fleet, protecting your staff and business whilst maximising profitability.
