Our functional model covers the key functions WorkSafe must do well to deliver our strategy: understand risk and harm, design initiatives, deliver activities, and measure our impact.

WorkSafe's functions

Understand risk and harm

We collect evidence to form intelligence on why harm is occuring, the highest levels of risk and the greatest inequities.

We use those insights to identify where we will intervene for greatest impact.

Design

We design the mix of activities that form the initiatives we plan to deliver for maximum influence 
with targeted businesses and workers.

We make sure initiatives can be successfully delivered by planning, communicating, and preparing delivery effectively.

Deliver

We engage, enforce, and set and permit in a connected way, in line with our planned initiatives.

We track our resourcing against demand and work with partners to amplify our impact and reach.

Measure impact

We have evaluation practices embedded throughout our organisation, gathering information about the performance and influence of our initiatives.

We use this information to adjust our focus so we can improve impact in the areas with the greatest harm, risk, and inequity, and to demonstrate the value of our work.

Organisational efectiveness

We support our organisation to operate efficiently and effectively in delivering our four core functions.
