Workplace Health and Safety
The Health and Safety at Work Act 2015 (The Act) applies to all workplaces in New Zealand – including farms.
To meet your obligations under The Act, you must take all practicable steps to provide and keep a safe work environment. This includes identifying risks and finding practical ways to manage hazards.
