Safety White Papers
-
White Paper: A deplorable lack of regard for safety
Despite the importance of safety, incidents resulting in severe injuries or fatalities continue to occur, often due to a lack of hazard and risk management. This white paper discusses the importance of hazard and risk management in the workplace, using a case study of a bakery business, where two incidents occurred within six months.
-
White Paper: Asbestos Awareness
Responsible for around 220 deaths each year, asbestos is New Zealand’s leading workplace killer - but despite its widely known risks, businesses and tradespeople are still failing to protect their workers.
-
White Paper: Resilience
Build resilience for safer workplaces - cope, speak up, bounce back. This highlights how resilience skills can help individuals and organizations promote workplace safety by coping with stress, speaking up about potential hazards, and recovering from setbacks.
-
White Paper: Employer complacency, staff member pays a huge price
Recent incidents such as the case reported on by WorkSafe involving a waste bin company have demonstrated the severe consequences of employer complacency towards workplace safety procedures.
