Most NZ Businesses
Think They're Compliant.
Most Aren't.
The Health and Safety at Work Act 2015 places serious obligations on every PCBU in New Zealand. Generic templates and good intentions don't cut it when WorkSafe knocks.
What Does Being a PCBU Actually Mean?
You Are a PCBU
If you run a business in New Zealand — any industry, any size — you are a Person Conducting a Business or Undertaking under HSWA 2015. The obligations apply to you personally.
You Have a Primary Duty
You must ensure, so far as is reasonably practicable, the health and safety of your workers and anyone affected by your work. This is a legal duty — not optional.
Documentation Is Evidence
When WorkSafe visits, your H&S documentation is your evidence that you've met your duty. No documentation means no evidence — and no defence.
Directors Face Personal Liability
Under HSWA, directors and managers can be personally prosecuted and fined for H&S failures — not just the business. Your personal assets are at risk.
What Happens When Documentation Isn't Right
WorkSafe can issue Improvement Notices requiring immediate corrective action, Prohibition Notices stopping work immediately, and pursue prosecution resulting in fines of up to $600,000 for companies and $300,000 for individuals. Getting documentation right before an inspection is infinitely better than scrambling after one.
