The Action Agenda

A review of the Workplace Health and Safety Strategy for New Zealand to 2015 proposed the development of a national Action Agenda to focus workplace health and safety activity over the next three years.

This Action Agenda sets the framework of having priority sectors, action areas, sector based action plans and an occupational health action plan.

It targets sectors with the highest rates of injury and disease in order to reduce New Zealand’s work toll. The five priority sectors are construction, agriculture, manufacturing, forestry and fishing - each of the five sectors will have its own individual Sector Action Plan, developed in consultation with industry stakeholders.
