WorkSafe Strategy

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

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.

Where we focus our effort: priority plans

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.
