Executive Summary
The Coalition Agreement between ACT and the National Party committed to reforming work health and safety law and regulations. New Zealand’s work health and safety record remains worse than other comparable countries and has been slow to improve. Government has heard that businesses are struggling to understand their work health and safety obligations, and are unsure how to comply, which creates risks for workers.
