Review of the Workplace Health and Safety Strategy for New Zealand to 2015 (WHSS)

Rautaki mō te Haumaru me te Hauora o te Wāhi Mahi mō Aotearoa ki te 2015

Review Report - August 2009

7. Next steps

The review report is one step in a phased process. The real work and critical next steps require that the recommendations be picked up and delivered on.

As lead agency, the Department will progress the Strategy through the next phases of activity. Now that the consultation and recommendations are complete, the Strategy is moving into an agenda-setting phase.

Whilst the Department will undertake this process in association with the Council, it will be critical to involve and have the support of lead agencies, industry associations, unions and employee groups, workplaces, business leaders, Māori and the wider community.
