Workplace regulator investigations and compliance
Proactive steps are key to effective health and safety management, fostering strong employment relationships helps make safety a natural part of your workplace culture. Our team has the expertise to provide immediate legal advice and astute management of investigations and defence of prosecutions.
Ensuring a safe and compliant workplace
Employers have strict obligations to minimise the risk of harm to employees and others associated with the workplace. When an accident does occur, it is essential that the response is managed and coordinated well to ensure minimal disruption and cost. We can assist employers and employees by:
- Advising on and drafting health and safety terms and conditions in employment agreements
- Drafting health and safety and related policies and strategies, for example, in relation to bullying and harassment, fatigue or drugs and alcohol
- Managing and advising on employer or employee obligations and any related claims
- Advice in relation to labour inspectors and breaches of employment standards
- Advising on legislative and regulatory compliance
- Managing communications with WorkSafe New Zealand, for example, in relation to improvement and prohibition notices
- Advising on breaches of industry codes or ethical standards related to professional body complaints
