The WorkSafe strategy defines the wider health and safety at work system and reflects our role in the system, how we will undertake that role, where we will focus our effort, and how we will measure our impact.
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.
Our priority plans bring our strategy to life by describing how we will deliver our role as Aotearoa New Zealand’s primary work health and safety regulator.
Led by our Interim Chief Executive Kane Patena, we are working to lift New Zealand’s health and safety performance, supporting everyone to return home from work healthy and safe.
Led by Kane Patena our Interim Chief Executive, our leadership team guides WorkSafe in influencing businesses to carry out their responsibilities for managing risks, and ensuring work is healthy and safe.
WorkSafe is a Crown agency; we have a governance board. Board members are appointed by the Minister for Workplace Relations and Safety.
