Simple ways to improve your businesses' health and safety

Although New Zealand’s joinery sector has made good progress in improving health and safety in recent years, we need to do more. Too many joiners are injuring themselves at work and this is costing businesses and affecting families and livelihoods.

The Health and Safety Association of New Zealand (HASANZ) has joined forces with the New Zealand Joinery Manufacturers’ Federation (Master Joiners) to develop a tailored health and safety guidance specifically for the joinery sector.

Created with the help of four joinery businesses, this guidance will support any joinery business looking to take the next step to look after their people.

In addition to the guidance, the Master Joiners Health & Safety Resource: provides an overview of general health and safety in the workplace and your obligations as a small business owner/leader. highlights the skills and value of engaging with a HASANZ registered health and safety professionals who can help.

The resource is exclusively available to Master Joiners members and can be downloaded via the Members Login at www.masterjoiners.nz/login
