“Financial and investment institution, AMP, identified the Bethlehem area as the next growth area in the Bay of Plenty and thus required a decent sized retail outlet development. They hired Marra Construction for the $15 million project.”

Mike Young, PowerCo Limited

The Health and Safety in Employment Act 1992 reformed the law and provided, for the first time, a comprehensive consistency and coverage of an approach to the day to day activities and management of health and safety on all New Zealand building projects.

Since its introduction the new law has proven to be very effective and innovative. It has been successfully enforced through the New Zealand courts, and has improved attitudes throughout the building and construction industries.

Further regulations were passed which contain standards for matters not clearly addressed in the Act.

The importance of enforcing the New Zealand Health and Safety law within the building industry can’t be ignored.

With that said, there is also a real need for industry-specific information for employees and employers. The Health and Safety guidelines are an important part of this process, and they provide further information on means of compliance with the Act and the regulations.

The intention in publishing The Health and Safety guidelines is that they will be another step towards the ultimate goal of the New Zealand legislation — which is to constructively change people’s responses and attitudes and to building and construction workplace health and safety.
