From the HFE team, WorkSafe New Zealand – in collaboration with the New Zealand Occupational Health Nurses Association
A wide range of hazardous manual tasks occur in many New Zealand workplaces and contribute to high injury rates across industry sectors. WorkSafe has been building resources to support businesses to better manage hazardous manual task risks.
Work health and safety professionals knowledgeable about musculoskeletal health should be at the forefront of reducing the risks associated with hazardous manual tasks. Members of these specialist disciplines are invited to attend this workshop. The workshops are being held in May and June 2024 in centres throughout New Zealand, with limited registrations available. Registration is only $65, with morning tea and lunch provided.
The workshop will introduce screening and risk assessment tools. These are part of a full suite of resources in development for New Zealand use. They come from the Health and Safety Executive, United Kingdom. Future workshops are planned for members of the health and safety generalist associations and for industry. Other workshops are planned as the New Zealand resources are developed.
