I think WorkSafe are now using the breadth of charges as the new regulations intended them to be used, which in turn will make business work as intended

We run on a system where we look at the possible outcome risk of any incident and then investigate accordingly low level for "hitting finger with hammer" right up to a full ICAM for potentially major risks

Hi

I have completed this a couple of times with 2 different providers, one of the best courses I have ever been on highly recommend it to all.
Very good program and works very effectively in lots of different situations

Happy to be in these types of discussions

Hi

I have been using Vault for many years and can highly recommend it

On the toolbox signing issue, based on an experience, where to one guy out of 20 at a toolbox meeting did not sign the toolbox form was the one who got injured nothing serious but enough for the old version of worksafe to take us to court, stating we could not prove he had attended as he had not signed the document (this is the short version) we ended up with a fine etc even though the person had attended.

So yes get them to sign.

Hi

There is quite a bit of discussion on this topic under Contractor Pre Qualification / Approval systems on this forum

Hi

I fully endorse all of the above, I to have raised this with WorkSafe at the meeting they held to look at the 10 strategy recently, (which appeared to be the same as the last one I attended before the new legislation) they were not at all interested. We hold AS/NZS 4801, I think to myself, surely this is a good enough prequal for safety, but alas it appears not.
My other moan is the prequal of people hiding under the guise of SiteSafe and Constructsafe, we opted for construct safe after being informed that SiteSafe was dying and all the big construction companies had endorsed Constructsafe, and as NZTA told us we must have it.
This was OK for a while, and we entered building sites to complete our work, but recently we have been informed by two safety advisors from two of the big companies, that this is not so, even though other advisors have not had an issue with ConstructSafe when I raised this with them the answer was "well if you book them on a course we will accept this so you can come on site" one even suggested "we could then cancel the booking and get a voucher to use next time "
Where does this leave safety sitting in the eyes of workers, if people employed to ensure we are all safe at work take this attitude?
