Health and Safety

Health and safety matters sit alongside employment law as an integral part of the workplace.  Our lawyers can assist with advice on health and safety matters, helping businesses across Waikato and New Zealand create safe, compliant, and productive workplaces.  Our Workplace Law Team is experienced in guiding employers through the complexities of health and safety legislation, including the Health and Safety at Work Act 2015, and the role of tikanga and kaupapa Māori in this space.

Health and safety compliance is essential for protecting your people and your business.  Our Workplace Law Team can assist with developing and reviewing workplace health and safety policies, risk management strategies, and incident response plans.

We support clients through workplace investigations, WorkSafe inquiries, and regulatory enforcement actions.  Our team provides practical solutions for managing workplace accidents, injuries, and hazards, as well as advice on reporting, documentation, and ongoing compliance.  We also help resolve disputes related to health and safety, and hauora generally, including disciplinary actions and employment grievances.
