Forestry Sector Action Plan 2010-13
1. National Action Agenda to reduce New Zealand's work toll
A National Action Agenda for workplace health and safety, released in March 2011, sets a new direction for action over the next 3 years under the Workplace Health and Safety Strategy for New Zealand to 2015.
The Action Agenda signals a narrower and deeper focus by concentrating on priority sectors and setting specific actions that will result in a reduction in the work toll. The Action Agenda is focusing on areas where a measurable and marked difference can be made over the next 3 years. Each Sector Action Plan is being developed in partnership with key stakeholders in New Zealand’s health and safety system.
The five priority sectors are:
- Construction
- Agriculture
- Forestry
- Manufacturing
- Fishing
National and sector-level actions will be delivered under four action areas:
- Growing safety leadership
- Developing capability
- Building knowledge
- Supporting a robust health and safety system
