This draft strategy sets out 10 year plan for improving health and safety at work. It clarifies the need to address the causes of occupational disease and psychosocial risks like stress, fatigue and violence at work, and identifies four key areas for improving  health and safety at work systems, and two key goals – making the biggest impact and improving capability. 

NZNO seeks member feedback on current H & S processes - what works and what doesn’t, what gaps and opportunities are there with regard to H & S at work.. NZNO has consistently advocated the need to strengthen the inspectorate, improve Ministry leadership and responsiveness; introduce a national surveillance system, and increase OH capability in the health workforce.
